Template Serial Battery

[RFDarter]

It would be nice if we could have a template serial battery that will not directly connect to an bms but instead via USB to a esp32 or similar.

That way we could aggregate multiple batterys and implement a charge logic on the esp32 instead of the config file in the venus os.

Like we can do with your mqtt battery but without depending on a Wifi or Lan connection.

I was just having a look at your Code and it seems you called your interface template_battery allready.
Maybe a fitting name would be esp_bms' or virtual_bms' instead

You can write yourself a driver that gets the data from USB and sends it to the internal Venus OS MQTT broker. You can also try to use Node-RED to read the data from USB and send it to the internal Venus OS MQTT broker.

I don't know where you found it. I will not change any name to virtual or esp_bms, because it's called dbus-mqtt-battery, which definitely describes what this driver is doing.

Sry Manuel, I got that wrong. I thought for some reason that the dbus-serial-battery was also your project.

It is, but anyway your request does not make sense.
