Can I use this integration to connect 3*BMS boards (JK-BD6A20S10P) ?

[klugev303]

Good afternoon and Happy New Year!

Can I use this integration to connect *3BMS boards JK-BD6A20S10P* ? For this I will need 3ESP32 boards? Or is it possible to code several BMS using one ESP32 board? If it's not difficult, can you provide examples of writing code for 3 BMS boards? What is the best (more reliable) way to connect via Bluetooth or RS485?

Thank you!

PS: I use ESP Home v. 2023.12.5 HomeAssistant: Core 2023.12.1 Supervisor 2023.12.0 Operating System 11.2

These combinations are possible:

1. A single ESP32 which talks using three different ble_client connections to 3 BLE devices. Crashs are very likely.
2. A single ESP32 using three different hardware UARTs connected to 3 different BMS. Should be rock solid.
3. One ESP8266/ESP32 per device (BLE vs. RS485) for improved stability.

Thank you very much, I will try it, all the best to you!

Hi its safe connecting 3 bms to 1 esp ? I mean ground loop problem throught this bms? If one bms do offline P- than its posible loop ground throught gps (gnd) port and power goes this way of I maybe wrong ?

[syssi]

IMO this depends how you power the ESP. What do you think?

If you connect 3bms into one ESP you connect all bms grounds together. When one bms go to fail state or disconnect P- all traffic will be redirect to esp ground. Thats do loop gnd.
