You can install this component with ESPHome external components feature like this:
external_components:
- source: github://syssi/esphome-jbd-bms@main
or just use the esp32-example.yaml
as proof of concept:
# Install esphome
pip3 install esphome
# Clone this external component
git clone https://github.com/syssi/esphome-jbd-bms.git
cd esphome-jbd-bms
# Create a secrets.yaml containing some setup specific secrets
cat > secrets.yaml <<EOF
wifi_ssid: MY_WIFI_SSID
wifi_password: MY_WIFI_PASSWORD
mqtt_host: MY_MQTT_HOST
mqtt_username: MY_MQTT_USERNAME
mqtt_password: MY_MQTT_PASSWORD
EOF
# Validate the configuration, create a binary, upload it, and start logs
# If you use a esp8266 run the esp8266-examle.yaml
esphome run esp32-example.yaml
If you are a Home Assistant user without any ESPHome experience yet please take a look at the beginners guide.

A user of this project (@the-butterfry) shared some YAML code for a beautiful status display using a 1.54 e-paper display here.
@TheNexter contributed a YAML snippet to stop charging of his e-scooter at an early stage to preserve the battery pack. The automation doesn't require a network connection and is executed on the ESP itself. To save some capacity the deep_sleep
component is used.
If this component doesn't work out of the box for your device please update your configuration to enable the debug output of the UART component and increase the log level to the see outgoing and incoming serial traffic:
logger:
level: DEBUG
uart:
id: uart_0
baud_rate: 9600
tx_pin: ${tx_pin}
rx_pin: ${rx_pin}
debug:
direction: BOTH
