PowerQueen LiFePO4 BMS Bluetooth

Python library for PowerQueen LiFePO4 batteries with BMS Bluetooth connection. Main purpose is to read battery stats from BMS.

Note

The code does not make any changes or change any settings in BMS of battery. Only reading information.

Warning

This is unofficial PowerQueen library. Use at your own risk.

Installation

Clone and create python virtual environment

git clone https://github.com/dmytro-tsepilov/pq_bms_bluetooth.git
cd pq_bms_bluetooth
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Install requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Find the Bluetooth MAC address of your battery. On linux it is possible with the bluez tool.

sudo apt install bluez

Start bluetooth tool:
bluetoothctl

Scan for available bluetooth devices:
scan on

Once it finds some devices and shows the list, stop scanning with command:
scan off

Note

There is no need to Trust, Pair or Connect to battery via bluez. Just find the MAC address of the battery.

[bluetooth]# scan on
