Version: v1.5.x-dev 🌜

dbus-serialbattery

This driver is for Venus OS devices (any GX device sold by Victron or a Raspberry Pi running the Venus OS image).

The driver interfaces with a Battery Management System (BMS) that supports serial (RS232, RS485, or TTL UART), Bluetooth, and CAN communication (see BMS feature comparison for details). The data is then published to the Venus OS system (dbus). Its primary function is to serve as a Battery monitor and Controlling BMS in your GX device, enabling the monitoring of key values and smooth control of battery charge/discharge.

History

The first version of this driver was released by Louisvdw in September 2020.

In February 2023 I (mr-manuel) made my first PR, since Louis did not have time anymore to contribute to this project.

With the release of v1.0.0 I became the main developer of this project. From then on, I have been maintaining the project and developing it further. I'm also solving 99% of the issues on GitHub.

A big thanks to Louisvdw for the initiation of this project.
