Connecting Neey Active Balancer to NodeMCU 32-S via BLE

[trippfam07]

I am trying to Program a NodeMCU32S to read the Neey Active Balancer and not having any luck. Could someone point me in the right direction?

I am using this code....

substitutions:
  name: heltec-balancer
  device_description: "Monitor and control a Heltec/NEEY 4A balancer via bluetooth"

esp32_ble_tracker:
  on_ble_advertise:
    then:
      - lambda: |-
          if (x.get_name().rfind("GW-", 0) == 0) {
            ESP_LOGI("ble_adv", "New Heltec/NEEY balancer found");
            ESP_LOGI("ble_adv", "  Name: %s", x.get_name().c_str());
            ESP_LOGI("ble_adv", "  MAC address: %s", x.address_str().c_str());
            ESP_LOGD("ble_adv", "  Advertised service UUIDs:");
            for (auto uuid : x.get_service_uuids()) {
              ESP_LOGD("ble_adv", "    - %s", uuid.to_string().c_str());
            }
          }
ble_client:
  - mac_address: ${mac_address}
    id: client0

  - ble_client_id: client0
    throttle: 5s
    id: bms0

  - platform: heltec_balancer_ble
    balancing:

    online_status:
      name: "${name} online status"

button:
  - platform: heltec_balancer_ble
    retrieve_settings:
      name: "${name} retrieve settings"
      id: retrieve_settings_button
    retrieve_device_info:
      name: "${name} retrieve device info"
    retrieve_factory_defaults:
      name: "${name} retrieve factory defaults"

And I get these error logs....

Please make sure you are using the most recent ESPHome version.

I am using ESPHome on Homeassistant....I keep it up to date when ever there is update available. Is there a manual way to update?

[trippfam07]

any update?

[trippfam07]

Figured it out...Thanks
