Select one or more USB cables and click connect: Plug the RS485 USB cable into the SolarAssistant monitoring device. Once you click "connect" on the configuration page, you should see each BMS show up as a battery pack as shown below. One pack will be shown for each JK BMS connected in step 2 above. How to connect a JK BMS to SolarAssistant.
When using the ports on the right, SolarAssistant will "listen in" on parallel communication going between the JK BMSs that are connected together. This is similar to how the official JK BMS software works. When using the port on the left, you need to configure the BMS to use the "000 - 4G-GPS" protocol using the official JK BMS software.
This guide is for the newer JK inverter BMS, also known as the JK PB BMS range. See our original JK BMS guide if you have their older original BMS. Use a Seplos RS485 BMS cable. If you are creating your own cable, note that RS485B on pin 1 and RS485A on pin 2.
Let SolarAssistant perform it's own state of charge (SoC) calculation by counting power flowing in and out of the battery. This is a good fallback option for anyone who can't get a real BMS reading. It's less accurate than a Victron BMS but much more accurate than the standard voltage based readings of an inverter.
When using the port on the left, you need to configure the BMS to use the "000 - 4G-GPS" protocol using the official JK BMS software. This is the protocol also used by the original JK BMS. On the SolarAssistant configuration page, select the "JK BMS" protocol as shown below. Select one or more USB cables and click connect:
Given that the Pace and JK bms has protocol information to work by , it is possible to concentrate the metrics in order to create a single virtual BMS communicating to the Sunsysnk . However , the Sunsunk will see a single but accurate aggregate of the SOC's , it will not display individual SOC's .

Pulling the data into Home Assistant through the UART port connected to an ESP32 chip running ESPHome. The ESP chip sends all the data from the bms over Wifi. I have a new JK BMS coming in the mail - planning to set that up the same way this weekend with ESPHome. This one however I can connect via bluetooth instead of having to hard wire it.

This ESP32 is monitoring the JK-BMS as is in the picture. (I'll mount it later) through bluetooth. Love ESP technology! Would you be able to say how you got the ESP32 working with your JMS into Home Assistant? I'd love to sort that out - have the parts here!

A battery management system (BMS) is any electronic system that manages a ( or ) by facilitating the safe usage and a long life of the battery in practical scenarios while monitoring and estimating its various states (such as and ), calculating secondary data, reporting that data, controlling its environment, authenticating or it. Protection circuit module (PCM) is a simpler alternative to BMS. A. Battery Management Systems (BMS) are crucial components in modern energy storage solutions, ensuring the safe operation, efficient charging, and optimal performance of batteries in electric vehicles and renewable energy applications.

The BMS controls the flow of electrical energy into the battery pack to charge the cells efficiently. Efficiency investigation involves assessing charging energy losses. These losses result from battery pack and BMS resistive losses, charging circuitry conversion losses, and heat dissipation. These losses can influence BMS charging efficiency.
This article focuses on BMS technology for stationary energy storage systems. The most basic functionalities of the BMS are to make sure that battery cells remain balanced and safe, and important information, such as available energy, is passed on to the user or connected systems.
BMS for Large-Scale (Stationary) Energy Storage The large-scale energy systems are mostly installed in power stations, which need storage systems of various sizes for emergencies and back-power supply. Batteries and flywheels are the most common forms of energy storage systems being used for large-scale applications. 4.1.
However, BMS is dedicated to measuring the current, voltage, and temperature of the battery pack; BMS serves no purpose if BMS hazards are caused by other issues. Therefore, both proper BMS functionality and the battery pack’s external measures must be checked to eliminate the risk of battery fire [42, 43].
BMS for Energy Storage System at a Substation Installation energy storage for power substation will achieve load phase balancing, which is essential to maintaining safety. The integration of single-phase renewable energies (e.g., solar power, wind power, etc.) with large loads can cause phase imbalance, causing energy loss and system failure.
Has one central BMS in the battery pack assembly. All the battery packages are connected to the central BMS directly. The structure of a centralized BMS is shown in Figure 6. The centralized BMS has some advantages. It is more compact, and it tends to be the most economical since there is only one BMS.
