the absorption and float voltage setting is retrieved from connected
Victron Ve.Direct MPPTs using the HEX protocol. the values are
displayed in the live view, published to MQTT, and added to Home
Assistent auto-discovery.
This changes the custom current limit so the custom limit is only
applied when any of:
- SoC is valid and not ignored and SoC < threshold
- Voltage is valid and Voltage < threshold
- Voltage is invalid
Independently, if "Use Battery-Reported limit" is enabled and valid, it
is applied (unless a lower custom limit already was applied).
a battery temperature value measured by a Victron smart battery sense
and communicated to a connected Victron MPPT charge controller will now
appear in the live view card.
* Allow scaleValue() for 32bit values
* Victron: Implement CAN message 0x360
This one-byte message is set to 0xff to request charging below a
certain SoC threshold (10% in my tests).
* Pytes: Add support for native CAN protocol
The recently added PytesCanReceiver.cpp implements the Victron CAN protocol.
This change additionally adds support for the native Pytes CAN
protocol messages.
Features only supported in Pytes protocol:
- High-resolution state of charge / full and remaining mAh
- Charge cycle counter
- Balancing state
Features only supported in Victron protocol:
- FW version
- Serial number
Note that the only known way to select the native Pytes protocol is
via the serial console (Cisco-compatible cables work):
```
login config
setprt PYTES
logout
```
to return to Victron protocol use:
```
login config
setprt VICTRON
logout
```
to return to DIP-switch based protocol setting:
```
login config
setprt DIP
logout
```
Due to a change in the Espressif Arduino core, the TX timeout for the HW CDC
(used in the ESP32-S3, for example) must not be set to 0, as otherwise, an
integer underflow occurs.
Removing the TX timeout is not necessary anymore anyways, because it is now
detected when CDC is not active, and attempts to write will return immediately
until the host read something again. Only when the transmit buffer becomes
full initially, the default timeout of just 100ms takes effect once.
For USB CDC (used with the ESP32-S2, for example), the timeout is not relevant
either.
when changing the security settings (disabling read-only access or
changing the password), existing websocket connections are now closed,
forcing the respective clients to authenticate (with the new password).
otherwise, existing websocket clients keep connected even though the
security settings now expect authentication with a (changed) password.
with ESPAsyncWebServer 3.3.0, the setAuthentication() method became
deprecated and a replacement method was provided which acts as a shim
and uses the new middleware-based approach to setup authentication. in
order to eventually apply a changed "read-only access allowed" setting,
the setAuthentication() method was called periodically. the shim
implementation each time allocates a new AuthenticationMiddleware and
adds it to the chain of middlewares, eventually exhausting the memory.
we now use the new middleware-based approach ourselves and only add the
respective AuthenticatonMiddleware instance once to the respective
websocket server instance.
a regression where enabling unauthenticated read-only access is not
applied until reboot is also fixed. all the AuthenticationMiddleware
instances were never removed from the chain of middlewares when calling
setAuthentication("", "").
This implements RFC5424 version of the protocol.
Don't use https://github.com/arcao/Syslog since the protocol itself
is trivial and most of the libraries functionality is not needed here.
The library also doesn't support setting the PROCID field, which is set
to a random id to indicate a reboot here.
Add UI for syslog configuration to network admin view.
I noticed that these are missing while looking at dissassembly of the
Pytes implementation of the protocol. I also found Pylontech sample
CAN messages] which match the Pytes implementation [1]:
```
CAN ID – followed by 2 to 8 bytes of data:
0x351 – 14 02 74 0E 74 0E CC 01 – Battery voltage + current limits
^^^^^ discharge cutoff voltage 46.0V
0x355 – 1A 00 64 00 – State of Health (SOH) / State of Charge (SOC)
0x356 – 4e 13 02 03 04 05 – Voltage / Current / Temp
0x359 – 00 00 00 00 0A 50 4E – Protection & Alarm flags
^^^^^ always 0x50 0x59 in Pytes implementation
^^ module count (matches the blog article image)
0x35C – C0 00 – Battery charge request flags
^^ two possible additional flags (bit 3 and bit 4)
0x35E – 50 59 4C 4F 4E 20 20 20 – Manufacturer name (“PYLON “)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Note: Pytes sends a 5-byte message "PYTES" instead
padding with spaces
```
The extra charge request flag is "bit4: SOC low" (Seems to be SoC < 10%
threshold for Pytes), I haven't bothered adding that as it provides
little value.
