Do you have access to a linux machine?

Windows and Linux both are available.
Please watch this short terminal session recording:
In words:

Awesome thank you very much for your great support.
Now two questions are left. Do i need additional settings for the "esp8266-example-multiple-battery-banks.yaml"? Because i have 2 seplos battery banks?
And is this RS485 to TTL also supported? https://www.amazon.de/DollaTek-MAX485-RS485-RS-485-Entwicklungsboard/dp/B07DK4QG6H/ref=sr_1_4?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=1G2C9SV8GI721&keywords=rs485+ttl&qid=1660051166&sprefix=rs485+ttl%2Caps%2C95&sr=8-4
You can use the esp8266-example-multiple-battery-banks.yaml
with your battery banks without changes if your battery banks addresses are setup properly:
https://github.com/syssi/esphome-seplos-bms/blob/main/esp8266-example-multiple-battery-banks.yaml#L40 https://github.com/syssi/esphome-seplos-bms/blob/main/esp8266-example-multiple-battery-banks.yaml#L43 https://github.com/syssi/esphome-seplos-bms/blob/main/esp8266-example-multiple-battery-banks.yaml#L46
If there are other addresses assigned please change there values before executing esphome run config.yaml
.
I cannot recommend the mentioned RS485 modules. They require flow control. I prefer the modules without flow control. They look like this: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/syssi/esphome-jnge-mppt-controller/main/images/circuit_thumbnail.jpg
Awesome i ordered the RS485 modules. One last question: How is the communication with Home assistant in your JKBMS Reposirory it is done via mqtt and how is this handled here in the Seplos Rep?

Sensors are created automatically but how do they interact and why did you add mqtt at JK Repo?
If you use Home Assistant please use the api
component to connect your node. If you use another Home Automation Software there is no native integration and you should use a generic approach like mqtt
.
Î already flashed the ESP via ESPHome and watched many youtube tutorial videos. But how can i upload the Setting under "installation" to my ESP? i am struggling here, can anyone help me or maybe link me to a suitable tutorial? Via Python program and docker, or is there an easier way? Sorry for all the noob questions. Thank you.
