https://github.com/syssi/esphome-jk-bms. Easy to assemble and works very well. I have been running it for about 3 years with 2 jk-bmses.

are you using wired via the ports or wireless via BLE?

Please I would appreciate if you can put me through on how you connected yours. My esp32 won't just connect to the Mac address. I have swapped multiple esp32s. Same issue.

The app connects and works well.

As i write, i am still trouble shooting this. The problem is that for some reason unknown to me it wont connect to the BMS. I used a BLE scanner to retrieve the Mac address. It's a Deriy battry with JK BMS Hardware version - V15A.

Please can you share your Esphome code let me see if we are on the same page. Biko

dollarnaira:
Oh great thanks.
Can the breeze be felt?
Just wondering how just 10w fan could be.

Yes it can be felt and can also be incereased but it's best for a small room or else u want two of it.

But it serves my kids which is why i bought it and saves energy.

You can also consider Qasa 20 watts 18 inches standing fan. It's better because of it's larger blade and still maintains 20 watts.

dollarnaira:
Has anyone used this?

Yes, i have it. measured the energy draw and it's 10 watts. It has small blades though so it might not send very powerful breeze.

Bought it way cheaper though.

Hello Good people, trust you all are doing well.

Is anyone here monitoring their battery via Home Assistant or Esphome?

I am having trouble trying to connect a JK BMS for remote monitoring. There's very little or outdated materials on the web.

Is there anyone who can help?

adrusa:
One is enough. You should switch only the positive cables. The negative cables can remain permanently connected to the batteries.

Thanks Again Sir. Well noted.

adrusa:
1. It is doable.

2. You can get two manual switches and use them to select which battery you want to use at any given time.

3. There are factory made battery isolators and combiners that you may buy which involves merely turning a knob to select a battery. This can be manual (Pictures 1 and 2) or automatic (Pics 3). These are available on Amazon. I don't know if you can get them locally.

4. I used to run something like this when I was transitioning between Lead Acid Batteries and Lithium.

Thank you once again, i will order the switch from Aliexpress.

Please i have one more question for you Sir.

Do i use 1 switch for each cable, that is One switch for the Negative and One switch for the Positive ?

Making two switches?

Hello Guys,

I have a question.

i want to add a second battery to my inverter set up in a way that I can switch between battery 1 and battery 2 at anytime. Both battery will use the same source for charging (same Solar and Grid) and I don't have a problem charging only one battery at a time.

I cant merge because both batteries are different sizes and manufacturers. And I don't want to use two inverters .

Is there a change over switch that can change the battery in use between battery 1 and battery 2, just like NEPA and Generator style?

Is this doable? how do i do this?

Hi, can you buy and ship from 1688?

ibietela2:
Here is mine

Make sense!

iebanehita:
Bro, what of the starlink mini?
Is it available and how can I place an order?

Not sure if it's available for our region yet.

laptopsforsale:
No, residential

Location?

morikee:
I go wait for the Gen 3 before buying Starlink

Gen 3 doesn't have the actuator. it requires manual adjustment and its USD599. Think twice!

iebanehita:
It's been a week now since 11th June I pre-ordered.

32k has been debited but not heard from them.
How long before I get any call from Starlink team?

are you in Lagos? if yes, dont bother, Lagos is congested. but if you insist you must have it, then cancel and go and source from Konga and Jumia , its the same thing. just that you wont get a 1 month free sub and FYI -only roaming plan is available in Lagos for now.

fashrola:
It will be available now till Monday next week….. I won’t be available in Nigeria in the next two months

I'm Sorry, exhausted my budget for this month.

DataMina:
I ordered my Starlink from Jumia and I reside in Omoku/Rivers State where I'm making use of the device.
Prior to mounting the device, at ground level when I did my speed test I got about 79 Mbps after mounting the device on a pole I was expecting to get at least above 100Mbps to my utmost surprise the speed dropped to below 70 Mpbs.

Please gurus in the house I need your help on how to troubleshoot the problem

Enjoy what you have oo.. it's possible your area is getting congested just like lagos.

fashrola:
I have an Open box Starlink Ethernet Adapter (Never used before)…. I bought it thinking I will have a spot in my house that won’t have access to Starlink wifi coverage….

I am also selling it with the Starlink Router mount and the Ethernet adapter mount I ordered last year from Amazon….

I do not need the mount again since it didn’t come on time before getting it another one

Everything goes for 65k

If you are in UYO better but if you are in another state you will be responsible for the waybill

I need it but I'm n Lagos. Can get it off you end of the month at a slight discounted fee if it's still available, but transportation would be a big problem. let's chat on whatsapp and discuss terms

georgee:
Abeg make person recommend better TP-Link router for me.. I wan change this current one am using TL-WR841N

Try the Archer Series, i use TP-Link AC1750 Archer 7 and it has 'been serving me. you can also try the TP-Link AC1900 (archer works well too.

if you prefer the wifi 6 routers, the the TP link AX series are your goto.

All available locally or on amazon

odimbannamdi:
Is it possible to confirm whether my location has maxed out the normal Residential plan and only have the roaming option before I purchase?

i think so, check here - https://www.starlink.com/ng/map

or u can inpute adding your address here - https://www.starlink.com/ng/residential

Didnt know till after i bought

For Lagos, or some part of Abuja, residential may not be available for you

brightk:
i have seen speeds of 120mbps

Thats fair. Roaming plan in Lagos?
