Description-Content-Type: text/markdown

This is a Python module for reading data from Daly BMS devices. It supports serial as well as Bluetooth connections. Not all commands that the BMS supports are implemented yet, please take a look at the examples below to see if it serves your needs.

## Compatibility

There are two different types of devices sold under the Daly Brand, which use different communication protocols. 
This module was initially written for BMS supported by the Windows program BMS monitor.
Later (in #1) the support for BMS supported by the BMStool, also known as Sinowealth, was added. They don't support all commands of the first protocol, but still provide valuable information.

There are two ways to check if your BMS is supported:
1. First run `daly-bms-cli` normally and see if `--soc` returns data. If not, run it again while adding `--sinowealth`, which switches to the other protocol.
2. Connect the BMS to a Windows computer, run the PC tools provided by Daly ([Download](https://www.dalyelec.cn/newsshow.php?cid=25&id=77&lang=1)) and see which one works.

If you make it work with the Windows software, but not with `daly-bms-cli`, feel free to create a [bug report](https://github.com/dreadnought/python-daly-bms/issues).

## Installation

### From PyPI

```
pip3 install dalybms
```

### From Git

```
git clone https://github.com/dreadnought/python-daly-bms.git
cd python-daly-bms
sudo python3 setup.py install
```

### Dependencies

For *serial* connections:
```
pip3 install pyserial
```

For *bluetooth* connections:
```
pip3 install bleak
```

## CLI

`daly-bms-cli` is a reference implementation for this module, but can also be used to test the connection or use it in combination with other programming languages. The data gets returned in JSON format. It doesn't support Bluetooth connections yet.

### Usage
```
# daly-bms-cli --help

### Examples:

Get the State of Charge:
```
# daly-bms-cli  -d /dev/ttyUSB0 --soc
{
  "total_voltage": 57.7,
  "current": -11.1,
  "soc_percent": 99.1

## Notes

### Bluetooth

- It's also recommended to have a recent BlueZ installed (>=5.53).

  The Bluetooth connection uses `asyncio` for the connection, so the data is received asynchronous.  

- It seems like the Bluetooth BMS Module goes to sleep after 1 hour of inactivity (no load or charging), while the serial connection responds all the time. Sending a command via the serial interface wakes up the Bluetooth module.
