Domoticz

Hi, is it possible to read-out a Battery Management System with a UDP Outbound protocol in Domoticz

If yes, how to do it?

HI,

@Knibor

I think, that it is possible, as I see in System Op status MqttOffline =9.
This means that this unit may have MQTT available.

In that case with a MQTT server, such as Mosquitto and Node Red, it will not be too difficult.

Can you sort out the MQTT part?

[Added] I'm pretty sure . See:

Hi FireWizard,

Thanks for the response

I'm not familiar with the MQQT. But if I'm right, WatchMon UDP Binary Listener translates to JSON and stores to influxdb or sends it to MQTT . So I need a separate server, e.g. Rasp Pi, which I connect to the wifi from Batrium BMS on which WatchMon UDP Binary Listener runs.
And from Domoticz I connect to the Rasp Pi server MQQT. Doesn't Domoticz have a UDP listerner plugin that can do this? Then it is probably possible to communicate directly with the Batrium from Domticz.

Kind Regards

The Batrium Windows program does a request of a measured value directly by wifi from the Batrium BMS and presents this in the Batrium windows program. Would this not be possible with a direct http Json request in Domoticz?

If the values can be retrieved using a JSON via HTTP Get then dzVents can collect it and update virtual sensors with the information.

I don't know if the values can retrieve using a JSON.

The only thing I have is the UDP outbound protocol.

A few months ago I experimented with an ESP WEMO D1 wifi, with a JSON Command it was indeed possible to retrieve the measured values of the ESP to Domoticz. Now that I am experimenting with the Batrium BMS, I have found that this BMS uses an ESP32.

Hi,

Have a look here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/watchmonudplistener

From there you can make steps with either dzVents or Node Red.
