The Daly BMS phone App works great for system monitoring and changing settings . Would love to be able to monitor or and change settings remotely when away.

I have tried Solar Assistant, but it does not display individual cell voltages or provide BMS status or ability to change BMS settings remotely.

Curious to hear what other software/methods folks are using to remotely monitor/control their battery packs with Daly BMS?

Get a tiny pc and plug it into the daly, then remote into the PC via any given remote desktop setup.

I know you've stated on many occasions your inability or lack of desire to put something together that isn't 'off the shelf' but I doubt there is anything off the shelf to do what you want. There is going to be some level of 'putting something together' involved.

I personally use Home Assistant with the Solar Assistant program. It's pretty much worked flawlessly for me for some years now. You are able to use the MQTT protocol to change the Inverter settings (not the BMS settings though not sure what settings you need to change once they are set up). I've even got automation set up to change the settings automatically for me based upon various criteria but that's a conversation for another day.

I'm sure you can find another MQTT program to access to change settings via Solar Assistant but it will require some 'putting it together'.

Good luck in your search for something simpler/easier and off the shelf. Let us know if you do find something to use.
 
I noticed today that Daly now has a "wifi dongle" that provides remote monitoring... not much info available about it yet though:

We will test this module in China now, and it will be launched abroad after it is fully mature. Probably as soon as October
