Renogy BT-1 BLE support #2200

Open rb2k opened 1 year ago

rb2k commented 1 year ago

Renogy has a series of MPTT solar charge controllers. They have an RS232 port that one can hook up a bluetooth module to: the BT-1

Apparently they use BLE and there's a project that decodes it: https://github.com/cyrils/renogy-bt1 I see what I think is some active pairing and the request construction is over here: https://github.com/cyrils/renogy-bt1/blob/main/renogybt/Utils.py#L54

With the recent Homeassistant / BLE / Esphome advances, I'm not sure if something like that would belong in Homeassistant or in Esphome, but I thought I'd open a feature request just in case other people are looking for it.

Seconding. This would be nice to have. I would like to be able to track various metrics such as solar production on a given day. The Renogy app is not great and requires my mobile device be nearby. Using a bluetooth proxy I could, in theory, place it near enough to the solar farm and pull data to log into Home Assistant (or other tool of choice).

Just putting it out there that the BT-2 module would be nice to see integrated as well :-)

I have 3 batteries daisy-chained (actively working with the cyrils/renogy-bt project to get them all auto-discovering) and it would be great to see them pulled into esphome.
