v1.0.20240102beta

Notes

ATTENTION: Breaking changes! The config is now done in the config.ini. All values from the utils.py gets lost. The changes in the config.ini will persists future updates.

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

Breaking changes

• Driver version greater or equal to v1.1.20231223beta

  • PUBLISH_CONFIG_VALUES now has to be True or False

• Driver version greater or equal to v1.0.20231128beta

  • The custom name is not saved to the config file anymore, but to the dbus service com.victronenergy.settings. You have to re-enter it once.

  • If you selected a specific device in Settings -> System setup -> Battery monitor and/or Settings -> DVCC -> Controlling BMS you have to reselect it.

• Driver version greater or equal to v1.0.20230629beta and smaller or equal to v1.0.20230926beta:

  With v1.0.20230927beta the following values changed names:

  • BULK_CELL_VOLTAGE -> SOC_RESET_VOLTAGE
  • BULK_AFTER_DAYS -> SOC_RESET_AFTER_DAYS

v1.0.20240102beta

• Added: Configure logging level in config.ini by @mr-manuel
• Added: Create unique identifier, if not provided from BMS by @mr-manuel
• Added: Current average of the last 5 minutes by @mr-manuel
• Added: Daly BMS - Auto reset SoC when changing to float (can be turned off in the config file) by @transistorgit
• Added: Daly BMS connect via CAN (experimental, some limits apply) with #169 by @SamuelBrucksch and @mr-manuel
• Added: Exclude a device from beeing used by the dbus-serialbattery driver by @mr-manuel
• Added: Implement callback function for update by @seidler2547

• Added: JKBMS BMS connect via CAN (experimental, some limits apply) by @IrisCrimson and @mr-manuel
• Added: LLT/JBD BMS - Discharge / Charge Mosfet and disable / enable balancer switching over remote console/GUI with #761 by @idstein
• Added: LLT/JBD BMS - Show balancer state in GUI under the IO page with #763 by @idstein
