The new JK PM BMS is not yet supported by these solutions, my JK PB BMS is on 15.17 and I connect to it via Wifi using a HiFlying EW11 with a Virtual Serial port on the PC so I can connect and monitor the batteries anywhere on the local Lan. Once one of your solutions adds the JK PB BMS I will try them out.
I have a JK-B2A20S20P BMS in my battery room but I want to extend the Bluetooth signal. Is there a way to do this? Solar Enthusiast. Joined Apr 26, 2022 Messages 566. Make sure you get one natively supported in home assistant. The esp32 talks to the BMS with bluetooth and relays that information to home assistant via wired or wireless
I have a Growatt SPF5k inverter with two Lifepo4 batteries, each controlled by it''s own BMS (JK 100A). I there a way to connect both BMS''s to Solar Assistant? Currently it''s only one connected via RS485 dongle and the details aren''t accurate (-50%). Option would be to use inverter settings but I don''t want to lose the details provided by the BMS.

I do (I don''t have JK BMS though). I have it connected using the Victron cable to my Solar Assistant Raspberry Pi. It works and was easy to set up but there are some issues with the data in SA. The battery dashboard shows the data from the Victron Smart Shunt correctly but not all the data is making it to the charts tab, e.g.

Protocol selection. On the SolarAssistant configuration page, select the protocol below. USB cable. You can use our seplos BMS cable or create your own by using a USB RS485 adapter with the cable crimped into a RJ45 plug according the pinout as depicted in the manual. Only one cable is required to monitor all batteries in parallel.
We recommend using a battery BMS cable or the Emulated BMS. Emulated BMS: Let SolarAssistant perform it''s own state of charge (SoC) calculation by counting power flowing in and out of the battery. This is a good fallback option
Basically the question is; Can Solar Assistant plug and play from two JK bms''s (JK-B2A20-20P) or is it just easier and better to combined both battery outputs through one Victron smart shunt(not purchased) to the SA? wattmatters Solar Wizard. Joined Apr 16, 2021 Messages 4,156 Location

- 2 LV6548''s, and Victron smart shunt using Solar Assistant. - Finally after all this time!... an easy way to monitor my JK-BMS 2amp balancer using ESPhome (Bluetooth Version install) that I found here. The JK-BMS monitoring was the last piece of the puzzle and I have screwed around for many many hours to only be disappointed until now.

It is designed to run on a Raspberry Pi that is plugged into the solar inverter and optionally a battery BMS. The idea is that you leave the PI running permanently. The application can be accessed from a web browser or the Android/iPhone app via local network or the internet.
Thank you for all recommendations that was written in this thread. Using them I just putt together 3 phase system with the Easun 8kW and 4 JK-BMS to Raspberry Pi4 with Solar Assistant. For the inverter connection using regular USB-A->miniUSB. For the JK BMS using USB TTL (PL2303) connected to the GPS port of the BMS. All working good and show

Solar assistant will see multiple JK''s at a time. You can use the Smart shunt as a stand alone to verify/confirm the bms/Solar assistant data. JK''s can be dialed in for very accurate SOC. As far as I know bms brand mixes or bms plus shunts won''t work together with Solar Assistant.
The solar-assistant picks up on basic battery information from the BMS- voltage, temp etc. can people share their setups where they get the pack level information from the
You can temporarily unplug the battery CAN cable from the inverter BMS port and plug the SolarAssistant RS485 cable into the inverter BMS port to see if SolarAssistant can read your inverter. Be sure to click "Disconnect", then "Connect" in SolarAssistant. Once the test is complete, put the battery CAN cable back into the BMS port.

Typically the right two RJ45 jacks are used for battery to battery communications. The middle RJ12 jack is for Computer (or Solar Assistant) communications and the left RJ45 jacks (RS485 and CAN) are used for Master BMS to Inverter communications. The JK BMS manual counts pins on the double RJ45 jacks from left to right as pin 1 though pin 16.

Connecting the JK inverter BMS Overview. This guide is for the newer JK inverter BMS, also known as the JK PB BMS range. See our original JK BMS guide if you have their older original BMS. Battery communication cable. Use a Seplos RS485 BMS cable. If you are creating your own cable, note that RS485B on pin 1 and RS485A on pin 2. BMS port - Option 1
Select one or more USB cables and click connect: Plug the RS485 USB cable into the SolarAssistant monitoring device. Once you click "connect" on the configuration page, you should see each BMS show up as a battery pack as shown below. One pack will be shown for each JK BMS connected in step 2 above. How to connect a JK BMS to SolarAssistant.
Let SolarAssistant perform it's own state of charge (SoC) calculation by counting power flowing in and out of the battery. This is a good fallback option for anyone who can't get a real BMS reading. It's less accurate than a Victron BMS but much more accurate than the standard voltage based readings of an inverter.
AlsoIf you have an older version (Mine is the JK-B2A24S and only monitors and balances). You would put JK04 for the protocol version. (There is an example yaml for that on the site as well). Now I'm thinking about using the delta cell voltage reading as a shutdown switch if the difference exceeds "X" amount.
