Yeah, nice, i got it working also yesterday with two jk bmses.. Didnt used to work, but the op pushed a fix, and now it does yayFinally I manage get BatMON working and if anyone has questions I can try to help.
This piece of software is very simple to work and gives all the info of multiple BMS, you only need Home Assistant and a Bluetooth dongle.
I also get the data from Victron Smart Shunt, at the moment monitor it and 3 JK BMS.
Yeah its awsome, was able to turn off both bms's charging at work when one of the cell voltages was getting to high. (bms wasnt shutting down as the cell balancing was not allowing the cell over voltage to be to high for over 10 seconds) I have 2 connected and dont have any probs with the bluetooth not closing when rebooting HA etc...BatMON is now more stable and latest release 0.0.63 even give more info, the main problem I found was in the JK BMS, many times it won't close the Bluetooth connection and it prevent BatMON to connect, we need to turn off and on the bms, with Victron shunt work without problems.
In my opinion for those with multiple BMS this is the best and easy to implement solution for HomeAssistant, no need for converters and ESP that only work with one BMS at the time.
The bt_power_cycle and be able to turn on charge and discharge of the BMS was a great improvement.
I'm slow on this. I already installed the batmon and the mqtt broker in addon but I'm stucked what the next step to add the jk to dashboard.Finally I manage get BatMON working and if anyone has questions I can try to help.

Go to Settings -> Add-ons -> Batmon -> ConfigurationWell, I need some help if you don't mind.
I have set it up but can't see any data.
MQTT is already configured to SolarAssistant
- address: A4:C1:38:9C:4C:8C
type: jbd
alias: Revov1
- address: A4:C1:38:ED:EF:D4
type: jbd
alias: Revov2
Tnx.Go to Settings -> Add-ons -> Batmon -> Configuration
I'll provide you with the configuration that I used for my 2 revov batteries, but you will just need to obviously adjust it accordingly. I used the XiaoXiangElectric app in order to get the addresses, then updated the config's address, type & name per device.
Then if your MQTT broker is setup, you can just watch Batmon's log's to debug.
Configuration example:
- address: A4:C1:38:9C:4C:8C
type: jbd
alias: Revov1
- address: A4:C1:38:ED:EF:D4
type: jbd
alias: Revov2
I'm running HASS OS on a rpi 3b+ & using the onboard BT. It seems that Batmon or the fact that the rpi3b+ is not a supported device is causing the rpi to restart. Without Batmon it doesn't restart...
Hope this helps.
