AC180 support

[tackarama]

I have an EP500P setup and running in Home Assistant Core 2025.1.0. I want to buy an AC180 but I can't find if its supported or not; I really only need access to to battery percent.

Can you advise please?

Hi there.

This here is the Home Assistant Add-On to have a nice way of getting it to run in Home Assistant. The Bluetti2MQTT can be found at https://github.com/warhammerkid/bluetti_mqtt (you don't need that if you're using this Add-On)

See
https://github.com/warhammerkid/bluetti_mqtt/tree/main/bluetti_mqtt/core/devices
for supported devices. I can't see an AC180 there but maybe you can contribute to the project somehow to implement it.
Hopefully someone adds the EP2000 soon :-)

greetings

Hi & thanks for your response.

I haven't really grasped how GitHub works as I'm fairly new to it. I found this fork earlier that implies AC180 support has been developed, at least in part:

https://github.com/ftrueck/bluetti_mqtt/blob/main/README.rst
https://github.com/ftrueck/bluetti_mqtt/blob/main/bluetti_mqtt/core/devices/ac180.py

Still learning so anything you can add maybe helpful.

Thanks again.

Has anyone gotten this to work with the current BT encryption? Are there any ongoing efforts to address HASS compatability with the AC180?
