Can anyone help in connecting Solar Assistant with Daly BMS ?
Currently I am using 3 cables directly from Daly BMS rx/tx/gnd to my PI4 device connected to
pins 6,8,10. I am able to read data normally with applications like
/usr/local/bin/daly-bms-cli --device /dev/ttyAMA0 --all
So everything seems fine and my device is /dev/ttyAMA0 which is standart serial port.
The problem is that Solar Assistant can not understand this and is trying to look for outside hardware like dongles from Daly and load drivers similar to
usbserial: USB Serial support registered for cp210x
usb 1-1.4: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB0
etc… which is very strange !!!
Why do i need external hardware and software for something which works out of the box directly ?
Yes i have the original Daly dongle but is is not good !!! Sometimes usb port stuck and i need to restart my PI4 each 2-3 days. Using direct /dev/ttyAMA0 reads the same data as original dongle
(both are serial ports) and i read every 5 seconds for the last 6 months NEVER stuck like the USB dongles.
My questions is how to tell Solar Assistant use /dev/ttyAMA0 for Daly BMS ?
Where are these config files ? Even i can do something static if I have to ?
I hope nobody get me wrong ... my hardware ports and everything is working perfect via /dev/ttyAMA0
just need a way to "hack" solar assistant to use that device and do nothing automatically detecting
which i do not want ... because this actually not always work like in my case
And you can connect direct any TL inverter to PI4 and you do not need extra hardware (which stuck) !
It will be perfect if there is an Auto or Manual option for choosing your Inverter and BMS devices.
