JKPB2A16SXXP: Temperature sensors 3 and 4 not reported

temp sensors 3 and 4 (i suppose) are not registered/communicated

Could you increase the log level to VERY_VERBOSE and provide some raw data of the cell info frame?

https://github.com/syssi/esphome-jk-bms/blob/main/components/jk_bms_ble/jk_bms_ble.cpp#L329-L331

logger:
  level: VERY_VERBOSE

Yes, i will. I´m new to ESPHome, so please bear with me. Is there any way i can change those settings via OTA? (i never did OTA so not even know what is needed to do so) because the ESP32 is screwed down in a little case close to the solar plant. Wifi yes, easy taking the ESP32 out for flashing, no ;)

[holle75]

Oh, hold on. On my search for OTA i looked into the yaml file i used for flashing. I don´t know why but two temp sensors seems to be marked as "do not use"

temperature_sensor_1:
  name: "${name} temperature sensor 1"
temperature_sensor_2:
  name: "${name} temperature sensor 2"
# temperature_sensor_3:
#   name: "${name} temperature sensor 3"
# temperature_sensor_4:
#   name: "${name} temperature sensor 4"
power_tube_temperature:
  name: "${name} power tube temperature"
state_of_charge:
  name: "${name} state of charge"
capacity_remaining:
  name: "${name} capacity remaining"

Wow, i´m embarrassed and amazed the same time. I figured out how OTA works (why is it always the hardest part when entering an area you have no expertise at all to find out the most simplest basics?) uncommented the two sensors in the yaml and they are shown in the dashboard now So the issue is no issue after all.

For followers: OTA works the same as flashing on your computer plus the IP address (probably more complicated than that, but it works in my case) esphome run mydevice.yaml --device 192.168.1.123

Perfect! Let's close this issue. :-)
