Seplos BMS
Would be very nice to have the seplos BMS supported here. The Seplos BMS got a CAN and two RS485 Ports, documentation is available at several places, can post if needed. SEPLOS CANBUS Protocol V1.0 www.seplos.comhttps://solaranzeige.de › phpBB3 › download › file

Seplos supports connection to Victron out of the box via can bus, no need to support here.
@Louisvdw I think this can be closed as per SamuelBrucksch's comment above.
@Louisvdw I would like to re-open this item, looking at the results of Andy from the Off-Grid Garage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDM_acJyFxw
As Andy mentions, Victron takes the upper limit voltage of the BMS as charging target. As your FAQ mentions, MAX_CELL_VOLTAGE and MIN_CELL_VOLTAGE are in your case actually separately defined.
Planning to buy both Victron and Seplos, I would like to avoid that problem. Did not figure out yet if I can somehow adapt the VE.Can interpretation on the GX side, but otherwise your driver will be my alternative option (via RS485). When I actually get the HW, I may also be able to help you out on the implementation, but time is always a limiting factor.
It also seems that the Seplos provides only limited information via can bus, no single cell voltages for example. They're available on RS485 though.
@Rimco Agreed with you, seems the only viable solution would be to have Seplos supported with dbus-serialbattery I believe it would be based on the RS485 protocol as it exposes everything. Any tentative yet?
cheers
Do I need a separate RS485 cable/USB connection or does it also work through the CAN bus?
the one with two wires connected only or with all? (sorry for using this issue to ask this but I don't know where else to ask)
