Support for BlueSmart IP22 Charger?

[nobthenob]

Hi there,

Thank you very much for providing this code to read data from Victron devices via ve.direct !

Beside some MPPT solar charger I also use an AC charger Victron BlueSmart IP22, which I would like to integrate to my HA environment. I found this article that describes a hidden ve.direct port inside the Victron BlueSmart IP22 Charger: https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/226131/bluesmart-ip22-charger-and-vedirect.html

I managed to follow the description and connected an ESP8266 D1 Mini to the port and was able to read some data and generated a debug log with your sample code debug-esp8266-example.yaml

However, there is some information missing (e.g. type, model, serial number), when I tried to read the sensors with your component. Unfortunately I am not able to use this information to add support for the IP22 charger to your code. I have uploaded the log file if you are interested: debuglog_victron-BlueSmart_IP22_Charger.txt

Would be great if you could include support for the IP22 as well.

Once again, thank you for doing all this! With best regards Nob

is not supported for now

Ney Nob, I have a blue smart too, and added code for mine with #158 I've found another person online who looked like they had a similar one as you, so it might work properly for you now. If it does, then we can close this issue.

Hi Sebastian,

I can confirm that it is now recognizing my Victron charger IP22 24/12 (PID 0xA334) better, at least I now get the device type as "Blue Smart IP22 Charger 24|12" and the serial number. Therefore I guess we can close issue #144.

Thank for very much for your work to add support for the IP22 device - Much appreciated! :)

Meanwhile I have another Blue Smart IP22 device, but different model: 24|8. This has a maximum charge current of 8A and shows the PID 0xA332 in the log.

Just in case you want to add this model too, I will open an issue and provide the log there.

thanks again and best regards
