thanks for the great video, now can you tell me , how do i connect my BT-2 to a battery that doesn't has a port RJ45 ? thanks

you can use Bluetooth. The device also supports bluetooth connections. Press add device it should scan BT devices AND wired devices.

Really enjoyed your video. Just bought one of these and wanted to fully discharge it to 10v to do a capacity test. Many people have told me not to as they say it can damage the battery. After seeing you do it I feel like it shouldn't hurt to do it once. Will it hurt the battery? Would appreciate your response you seem pretty knowledgeable on this subject.
@antoniodecrisci23697 ай бұрын
thanks for your comments. That is correct, it will reduce longevity of the battery if you bring it down to the 10V mark, but only if it is done repeatedly. If you do it just once or twice just to do a capacity test, the damage will be negligible. Also, the BMS will likely prevent if from going to 10V because what may end up happening is that one of your cells will reach 2.5V before the 3 others do. Try it once to get the full battery capacity and then just use it. Charge it up immediately after it reaches this depleted state to further limit the damage.

Awesome info , thanks ! do you know if the leveling mode shows up on the phone app? that would make parking the RV pretty handy.

Does it have a speaker ? What use is it if a tiny word changes color.
@antoniodecrisci236910 ай бұрын
I don't think it has a speaker very good question. You can probably make an automation for some sort of siren if some parameter goes out of whack you can use the relay to turn on the siren or other speaker

Anyone know if other batteries with a RS485 connection will show up in the Renogy ONE Core? I'd really like to use the EG4's 400Ah batteries that have RS485 built in which would eliminate the need for a battery monitor
@antoniodecrisci2369 Жыл бұрын
This is a great question. The thing to take notice that rs-485 is a communication protocol that transmits data between devices. You will still need to be able to decode this data. Having said that I doubt it's going to work and if it does work you may not get a hundred percent functioning features. However it's worth a shot because there could be some standardization between vendors

you can now enable Local AP mode. This will allow you to connect to it (within range) using your phone. No internet required to connect to it, now.

Can you make multiple bluetooth connections using the hub? I can seem to only connect to one device using the hub via Bluetooth. For example DC-DC charger via Bluetooth and the other connection would have to be via Ethernet. I’m trying to connect both devices using the hub and one BT-2 adapter which is connected to the hub.
@antoniodecrisci2369 Жыл бұрын
Yes, at one point I was getting 2 of my devices communicating via BT (in the video you can also see that). Maybe try disconnecting/connecting the BT1/2 dongle and leaving the hub in search mode until it times out.

Can you hookup to other brand inverters besides renogy?
@antoniodecrisci2369 Жыл бұрын
I don't think you can connect other inverters. Renogy products communicate via modbus, it is possible that if the inverter uses modbus, it could work.

No shunt built in but if you are running it with a Renogy LiFePo4 with bluetooth you don't need a shunt. The app will show you all the info you want. It shows voltage, amps in, amps out, time till fully charged, time till fully discharged as well as the individual cell voltages among other things.

Can you turn the inverter on and off on the One Core? Or only view it's metrics?
@antoniodecrisci2369 Жыл бұрын
At the moment, only view its metrics. According to Renogy you can turn the inverter on and off using the relay, but I would need to figure out the wires (I have not yet) of the ethernet com cable. For the moment, I used a SwitchBot Bot to control the hard switch and it is working well. I posted here in the DC Home Community chat: pc.renogy-dchome.com/detail/39649 Or you can search for "Turning Inverter on/off remotely" in the Community. Hope that helps.
