Dbus Serialbattery Versions Save

Notes

• The Bluetooth and CAN connections are still not stable on some systems. If you want to have a stable connection use the serial connection.

Known issues

• JKBMS BLE - Only the first temperature sensor with the value of the second temperature sensor is shown. This issue was fixed with v1.3.20240428dev.

Breaking changes

What to test

Please test with Daly BMS and give us feedback, if you see errors in the logs. See How to troubleshoot.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/Louisvdw/dbus-serialbattery/compare/v0.14b3ble...v1.0.20230508beta

This is a special beta build that include changes to use bluetooth connection on a JKBMS instead of a wired connection. Please see the discussion on how to set up the bluettooth connection to make this work, and also provide feedback at https://github.com/Louisvdw/dbus-serialbattery/pull/372
