Is the bluetooth name starting with PBOX or the device name "AC200L"?

[Patrick762]

@wi-cheese Thank you for sponsoring the proect.
Could you run the discovery script mentioned above?

[Patrick762]

In case it's really the same protocol as the AC200M, I can just copy the config over. Are there major differences in input or output ports?

[Kathou99]

I don't think it's has a lot of difference but we could start with this and if something need to be change we will tell you? 🫠

[wi-cheese]

You're welcome.

As far as input/output port differences between the AC200Max and the AC200L, there really aren't many differences. The AC200L is mostly just an upgrade of the AC200Max, including a new screen, upgraded components, andthe addition of wi-fi management capability (via the Bluetti app). I believe there's one different DC output and one different input.

This new AC200L model also has three different UPS modes, which would be very beneficial to be able to change/control through HA. That function is available via Bluetooth and wi-fi from the Bluetti app.

I'm happy to help gather needed information, but I'm a newbie when it comes to running commands and diagnostics in HA. So the discovery script you're referring to, is that the "$ bluetti-discovery --scan" portion of the Warrhammerkid link above? If so, I'll have to figure out how to run commands in SSH. I have OpenSSH installed on HA, I started it in HA, then went into the web GUI for it. I got to the "[core-ssh ~]$" prompt, but it doesn't recognize the "$ bluetti-discovery --scan" command. I'm guessing I'm missing a step somewhere.

One other thing to note is that there's a pending firmware update for all of the components on my new AC200L. Should I update the firmware or wait until we get this discovery figured out? I didn't want to update the firmware yet since I saw a post about Bluetti-BT communication with a firmware update on a different model.

Thanks!
Jeff

@Patrick762 , what do you mean that you can copy the config over? Is there something I can help with to test the AC200L?

Thanks!

[wi-cheese]

Patrick, do you think you can look at this sometime soon? I'd still really like to get the AC200L working with this and I've been trying to wait patiently ;-) Thanks, Jeff
