    JK-BMS-CAN with new Cut-Off Charging Logic (open-source)

    The new multi-code seem to be more stable - especially if you have multi-battery config. Also Sleeper85 advised me to check that the Voltage and Amp are the same on both BMS and calibrate the Current and Voltage on the Esp side which i did it's since been behaving itself. I find the pb jk...

    Solis S5_EH1P5K-L inverter charge battery at saem time as feeding to grid?

    if you wish to fully automate your process take a look at this post https://diysolarforum.com/threads/automate-solis-and-octopus-integration-to-charge-batteries-at-cheapest-hours.81078/#post-1112755

    Turning off the Discharge Switch disables charging - I am sure this was not how it was intended guys, if not what's the purpose? If you turn off discharge - it is supposed to stop discharging whilste still charging.....can someone else check and confirm this is not just happening to my...

    When I did electronics engineering, they taught us how to calculate the resistor resistance just from the colour coding on it...but I have completely forgotten how to. Anyway, I thought I had already measured and labelled by resistor packs but turns out that set was labelled wrong...what you...

    @Sleeper85 @virus100b One other-thing - The Inverter BMS beeps every second since i have now removed the cable, is this normal behaviour to beep constantly, will the BMS not wear out its speaker after some time like that :) the Power BMS doesn't beep like that except when it's making that...

    at rest i have a delta v on each of the strings Sting 1 = 0.030 v String 2 = 0.003 v as per the below screenshot is this what we use the Voltage Offset (which I can no longer locate in the settings - or has it been renamed) ?

    Genius I didn't have a 120 ohms resistor but had a few 60 ohms and put them in parallel - as soon as I bridged it and remove the ethernet to the battery it shows green. I now just wonder why I don't have the same issue on the Solis string ...its a different BMS though, those are Poser BMS...

    Automate Solis and Octopus Integration to Charge Batteries at Cheapest hours

    Hey Did your Automation work? Mine did. been using it for the past few months now I had to duplicate the script and automation to get 4 and a half hours worth of charge as it only does 3 half-hour slots originally which = 1:30 hours Here is my script for those who wish to follow: When...

    Just a little guidance on the calibration aspect What do I enter into the current Calibration - I mean I have current for both BMS's, do I just choose one value and make sure it's entered the same for both?

    JK-BMS-CAN with new Cut-Off Charging Logic (open-source)

    I have made sure the BMS pair has the same voltage and Current values set # Different Topic This is why it's so cool to have HA manage your setup. - Problem I had Automation to automatically charge my Solis (1st string) (as no such integration exists yet for Sofar 2nd String) - every time it...

    JK-BMS-CAN with new Cut-Off Charging Logic (open-source)

    I have never seen my system functioning like this before - its so stable the only issue which i can live with is the fact that the SoC keep leaving each other. They marry when it gets to the top-end (%100) but then divorce after (40 to 10%) halfway through. I am not too worried about it...
