Hi!
Recently I had added some solar panels to my system and I have bought the Victron MPPT 150/35 instead going again with the EPEVER.
Near me I have a Camper/caravan workshop that sells Victron components and it can give directly warranty repair, support and etc. Unfortunately he install only Victron system and does not make integration with third parts system.
With his help I bought also the Cerbo S GX and smart shunt.
I was able to connect all the Victron components without any problem but now I want to understand how can I connect the other smart components “online”.
I have:
- JK BMS B2A8S20P-Heat
- Sonoff POW elite POWR316D (to monitor the AC loads)
- EPEVER XTRA4415N
The EPEVER and Sonoff are connected via WiFi to their remote control and different app, i can keep this separation but It’s more tidy have everything in one space.
I monitor the production to update my spreadsheet about the “payoff” of the system, on the EPEVER I based all the calculation on the AC production with the data on the display that gives me the total value, on the solar guardian app the data are messy.
I know that many people have connected the Sonoff to HA via “ESPHome”.
I have a raspberry pi3 somewhere in the garage that was gifted to me but I have ever used it.
The knowledge I have about HA or VRM are very little, all the thinks that I have learned about are from YouTube videos but I do not know how to do it.
In your experience what are the steps to understand how those system works to make it possibile to configure all the necessary components and settings by myself?
I was oriented to connect everything with HA based on the raspberry because I do not want to depend from third part servers that someone can disable after few years of use.
I surely need to connect the EPEVER and JK via RS485 but after this step for me it’s the abyss.
Thank you for your help and suggestions.
