JK BMS on Wi Fi?

[paulie]

Hi all, I am currently using 2 x JK BMS's which work fine on Bluetooth for monitoring purposes, albeit with limited range. Is there an easy way to get both BMS's up on
Wi Fi so that I can see them remotely? Please tell me how to do it. Thanks

RS485 to ESP32 and use esphome to read the values.
As far as dumping into the jk app, not sure

Thanks Korishan.. I guess the question is. Has anyone done it and how?

This looks promising. I've looked at it before, just haven't gone through the process of actually hooking up. I think my first bms had a bad com board so it wasn't sending any signals out. I should revisit this considering I have a new bms

Thanks Korishan but that link for me is like trying to teach Japanese to a pigeon.
