tim 886991caf3 Add River 2 Bluetooth telemetry and diagnostics
Decode River 2 charge, temperature, power flow, and time estimates. Preserve precise charge readings across packet reordering and omit unavailable time estimates.

Require valid PD, EMS, and BMS core heartbeats for diagnostic completion. Report optional packets separately and support raw watch output with reliable disconnect cleanup. Use synthetic regression tests and keep captures, credentials, and external keydata private.

Device details come from command-line arguments or discovery. This commit retains Poetry; the separate packaging commit migrates to uv.

# bmspy
bmspy is a tool to get information from a [xiaoxiang-type](https://www.lithiumbatterypcb.com/product/4s-or-3s-12v-li-ion-or-lifepo4-battery-smart-bms-with-bluetooth-function-uart-and-rs485-communication-with-60a-to-120a-constant-current/?attribute_specification-selection=4S+Lifepo4+120A+with+UART+and+RS485) BMS system, using some sort of serial connection.
It can display the information as text, in JSON, or export the data continuously to InfluxDB or a Prometheus exporter.
Multiple BMS/UPS devices can be connected at once. Each is identified by a name, and data from all of them (or just one) can be pushed to InfluxDB or Prometheus in the same connection, with each measurement tagged with the UPS name.
To install:
git clone https://git.treehouse.org.za/tim/bmspy
cd bmspy
poetry install
Or, to install with influxdb and/or prometheus support:
poetry install -E influxdb -E prometheus
## Running the server
The server daemon reads from one or more serial devices and makes the data available over a Unix socket.
Single device (defaults to `/dev/ttyUSB0`):
poetry run bmspy-server
Multiple devices, with optional names (default name is derived from the device path, e.g. `ttyUSB0`):
poetry run bmspy-server -d network:/dev/ttyUSB0 -d nas:/dev/ttyUSB1
To run via systemd, copy `bmspy-server.service` to `/etc/systemd/system`, adjust `WorkingDirectory` and the `ExecStart` line as needed, then enable and start it:
cp bmspy-server.service /etc/systemd/system
$EDITOR /etc/systemd/system/bmspy-server.service
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable bmspy-server
systemctl start bmspy-server
## Running a client
To print a summary of all connected UPSes:
poetry run bmspy
To show only a specific UPS:
poetry run bmspy --ups network
To push data for all UPSes to InfluxDB (each measurement is tagged `ups=<name>`):
poetry run bmspy-influxdb --url https://influx.example.com --org myorg --token mytoken
To push data for a single UPS only:
poetry run bmspy-influxdb --ups network --url ...
InfluxDB connection details can also be supplied via environment variables (`INFLUXDB_V2_URL`, `INFLUXDB_V2_ORG`, `INFLUXDB_V2_TOKEN`) instead of command-line flags.
## EcoFlow Bluetooth LE devices
Install the Bluetooth dependencies:
```bash
poetry install -E ecoflow-bt
```
Close the EcoFlow app and stop other Bluetooth collectors before connecting.
### Setup
Get your EcoFlow account user ID:
```bash
poetry run bmspy-ecoflow-login you@example.com
```
The command prompts for your password. Add `--region EU` or `--region US` if needed.
Use the diagnostic scan below to find device addresses and serial numbers.
Type 7 authentication also needs an external lookup table from
[ha-ef-ble](https://github.com/rabits/ha-ef-ble). From the bmspy repository root, download it:
```bash
curl --fail --location --output bmspy/ecoflow_keydata.py \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rabits/ha-ef-ble/main/custom_components/ef_ble/eflib/keydata.py
```
This file is ignored by Git and excluded from packages. Type 1 devices do not need it.
### Diagnostics
Scan and collect reports from nearby supported devices:
```bash
poetry run python -u tools/ecoflow-bt.py --user-id YOUR_USER_ID --scan --timeout 30
```
Add `--watch` to print every packet until Ctrl+C. Watch mode ignores the telemetry
timeout, but stops on a lost connection. Its payloads are already decrypted.
Keep diagnostic output private because it can contain device and account identifiers.
The scan detects encryption automatically. To select one discovered device,
add `--device ADDRESS`. Without scanning, replace `--scan` with
`--device ADDRESS --serial-number SERIAL`. Direct connections default to Type 7.
Session keys stay internal. The script has no encryption override or key-export option.
River 2 collection waits for three valid core reports, not optional inverter or
solar reports. A timeout reports incomplete collection. Use `--watch` to receive
later reports.
River 2 reports charge, temperature, power, and time estimates. Missing measurements
stay absent. See the [River 2 measurement reference](docs/ecoflow-river2-fields.md)
for units, decoding rules, and known limits.
Client snapshots include all complete River 2 heartbeat fields under
`ef_river2_*`, alongside the shared measurements and raw packets.
Partial reports retain earlier field values. See the
[River 2 field reference](docs/ecoflow-river2-fields.md#reported-fields-available-to-clients)
for names, units, and limits.
