Request for new device #3

Open Haimana opened 1 week ago

Hello, Me again! :) Congrats for your work, good job!

I am wondering how much time consuming will be for adding a new device. For now, I'm referring at Junctek Baterry Monitor, KG140F. http://68.168.132.244/KG-F_EN_manual.pdf And some related repos: https://github.com/AnalogThinker/junctek_monitor https://github.com/mysystem32/juntek_kg

I have one of this on my boat and I can do tests. Unfortunately, for now, I have only remote access, through Pi. So will be difficult to collect some logs with the cellphone. Your plugin detect it and report it's signal strength, so some connection is made. image image

Also, I can try to add it myself, even I am not a real programmer. Just give me some hints/guidelines about how to do that. Thank you

Best regards, Seb

Hi Seb!

I'll take a look at it when I'm done with Victron devices.

It would be tough for a non-programmer to implement without clear manufacturer specs. You'd have to sift through the python code linked above for clues as to what the protocol and data structures are. Not impossible but it can be confounding.

I'll get to it down the road. In the meantime you can download and run nrf conenct https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=no.nordicsemi.android.mcp&hl=en_US an app which interrogates, connects and displays the services of a bluetooth device. I'll leave it up to you to figure out how to use it. If you do get around to it and contact your device, send me screenshots of the device's service characteristics. It'll help.

Best,

Andrew Gerngross

Thanks, take your time I'm also in the middle of some work and far away from boat. I'll update when I'll be there and scan for characteristics and other details Best regards
