BATMon Settings for Multiple BMS

An example setup for 2 JK BMSs controlling 280ah 48v batteries. I will create another more detailed video soon with narration to replace this one.

Quick Demo to show some features of Home Assistant when monitoring JK BMS using "Dave Board" with ESPHome. I will create another video with narration soon and replace this one.

This is an old video from 2001 when I was VP of Engineering Worldwide for Allied Telesis/Allied Telesyn a multinational company with presence in 38 countries. We were opening a firmware development center in the Philippines. I liked it so much here that I ended up moving here.
Solar Panel Install

Installation of my friend Jag's Solar Panels. There are 16 monocrystalline panels, 545 Watts each for a total of 8.72kW. They are configured in two strings of 8 panels, for a Voc of 396.8, Vmp of 335.68, Imp of 12.99A per string, so typical numbers should be ~335V ~26A

This is my Solar Panel configuration. Each of the 16 monocrystalline panels has the following specs: 545 W, 49.6 Voc, 13.9 Isc. They are connected in a 8S2P configuration, for total spec of 8.72kW at ~375VDC ~26A. They are tilted 2 degrees south to maximize harvesting in the winter season and allow rainwater runoff, but during the summer the sun is actually north of our location. The slight los...
How you did that visual meters on overview panel? I installed HomeAssist on Virtual Machine, then installed batmon + mqtt. Now i have all information of my battery, but in list style.. Dont understand how show this visual meters
Very easy to do. Email me and I will send you example code
You recently replied to my comment at Andy “off grid garage”. Are you 100% sure that Jk-Pb version(new one) bms will work without connecting to Powmr? Recently contacted to support, they told me about bit another version of inverter like i have, and on Section 5 Battery type they have 3 additional settings like “LIC, LIL, LIP” for pace bms and pylontech batteries. I have only “FLD, AGM, USE, LIB for battery activation”, so if I don’t have those 3 additional option on my Powmr, so can communicate with this new Jk bms? If not, may i connect as old one black version without connecting to the inverter. Now i use Syssi integration over bluetooth with home assistant like you use on your video. Thank you for your reply
Thanks. This will be helpful. I cannot still communicate with SOFAR.
Great information. How were you able to add multiple devices to your MQTT? I currently have one device(axpert multiphase inverter by voltronic)setup in MQTT. I can’t seem to find a way to add the bmss that are being connected in batmon.
If you are using the Mosquitto Addon in HA, then BatMon will automatically add the devices into MQTT. If you are not using the HA MQTT then you need to configure BatMon to know where the MQTT broker is, and username/password/port for it. To see those config options, click the "Show unused optional configuration options" button at the bottom of the BatMon configuration page.
Thanks for your help. With your help I finally got it working. I didn’t realize I had to bridge the solar assistant broker with the ha mosquitto broker then use the ha mosquitto broker as the main broker for both solar assistant and batmon. Thanks again
You've left things on a cliff hanger. It would be good if you provide detailed reproducible and accessible information on this which you demonstrated and alluded to.
My intent was to show that batmon does, indeed, work perfectly fine for multiple JK BMSs when set up properly. The settings are shown in the video, you can pause and see the individual settings. I did not write batmon, it is not my product, but it is irritating to me to see it treated badly simply because somebody does not understand how to use it.
To be honest I too have been using batmon but my experience is that of inconsistencies. Like not displaying the soc or total voltage from the BMS to going unavailable to the point I have to restart batmon. Which only fixes the unavailability.
Thanks for sharing. Do you connect Bluetooth directly from your home assistant host or is there hardware in between?
Now I see it in the last 15 seconds of the video. Looking forward to more details.
Hi Dave. I have several boards that I have designed to talk to a variety of inverters and BMSs. In this video, the inverter is a PowMr 6.2kw single phase 230V which is commonly used here in the Philippines. Unfortunately, this inverter has no RS485 or CANBus communications, only RS232. The communications is done by the Dave board over RJ45 wire to the inverter and over WiFi to Home Assistant. This board works also with MPP brand inverters. I also have RS485 ModBus and CANBus boards for other inverterrs and BMSs.
@@DavidPrueI saw your comments on the off grid garage and was interested in more information on your Dave boards. I did some googling but came up empty
@@ice69man2010 Yes, there are only a handful in use, I did not develop them as a product, I am a retired firmware engineer and I designed them because I had a need myself. A few others have expressed need as well, and I have given boards to them to help them in their efforts.
Great job and nice to see that you can take advantage with the energy from the sun.
God bless you, fellow HonorYourOath Civil Rights Investigations viewer.

5:41 Wow.. the installation of the solar panels is so well done. As is the production quality of this video. Many thanks.❤
It's a nice clean and professional install on the panels. The video looks good, great job on the editing and presentation.👍👍
