Multiple external_components_source

[adrusa]

Can I combine external_components_source? Can I for instance use a single ESP32 for both JBD and JK BSMes or JBD and Victron etc?

[syssi]

Yes. This is possible if you merge the relevant parts of both examples. What do you want to combine exactly?

[adrusa]

Thanks for your response. I'm looking to combine your JK solar and ANT BMS external components into a single ESP32 using BLE.

[syssi]

BLE in both cases?

[adrusa]

BLE in both cases?

Yes.

I've attached a YAML how it should look like: esp32-jk-ant-combined.yaml.txt

Thank you Sir, I will give it a spin and report back.

This did not work. The ANT bms did not respond.

[syssi]

Did you update the MAC address? Does the BMS respond if the YAMLs aren't combined?

[adrusa]

Did you update the MAC address? Does the BMS respond if the YAMLs aren't combined?

Yes, I updated the mac address and yes, the ANT code worked when used alone.

Which ESPHome version do you use?

[adrusa]

The latest version.

Which version exactly?

Which version exactly?

2023.11.5

Perfect. It's still strange that there are no multiple connections possible. In general it should work.
