Hi all,
I've got a Solis Hybrid inverter (6kw), and some LifePO4 16x3.2v 200AH batteries with a Daly Smart BMS.
I thought I could run the Solis without a BMS connection but it doesn't look like it will have it, the only way i've managed to get it working was with a Lead Acid profile and then the voltages don't work out good and batteries aren't charging full.
I tried Daly Can -> Solis Can but no luck, doesn't communicate.
I have setup a venus os (Victron) on a raspberry pi, installed a serial bms driver and got the details from the Daly, but I can't work out if i can use this to add the inverter over can and be able to send the bms data to it - i don't know the product and was just experimenting.
I've seen someone else say they've coded something that does direct Daly to Solis, but i can't see there code anywhere to be able use.
So, anyone know if the Venus would act as a translator and am on the right line - I like this idea as it seems to have MQTT and thinking this will allow more possibilities, or do i need to do the Daly -> Solis method and get the code?
Regards,
