# BluettiBLE ESP32 library for reading and controlling **Bluetti** power stations over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). It is a companion to [VictronBLE](https://gitea.sh3d.com.au/Sh3d/VictronBLE) and shares its interface philosophy — a single global object, device registration, one callback, a non-blocking `loop()`, and a flat parsed data struct. The key difference is the transport: Victron broadcasts data in BLE *advertisements* (passive, connectionless), whereas Bluetti requires an active **GATT connection** and a polled, Modbus-style request/response protocol. BluettiBLE therefore runs a `scan → connect → poll → parse` state machine under the hood. The protocol is ported from the excellent [Bluetti_ESP32_Bridge](https://github.com/) project. ## Features - Connects to a Bluetti power station by its BLE advertised name — **no pairing or key required**. - Polls the device on a configurable interval and delivers a parsed snapshot through a single callback. - Reads state of charge, AC/DC input & output power, voltages, frequencies, battery pack and per-cell voltages, model and serial number. - Optional control: toggle AC and DC output. - Supports up to `BLUETTI_MAX_DEVICES` registered devices, connecting to one at a time in round-robin. - Zero external dependencies — uses the stock ESP32 Arduino BLE stack. ## Two modes: connection vs. advertisement Bluetti exposes two different BLE channels, and this library has a class for each: | | `BluettiBLE` (connection) | `BluettiADV` (advertisement) | |---|---|---| | Transport | GATT connect + Modbus poll | passive advertisement scan | | Data | full register set + **control** | monitoring snapshot, **read-only** | | Encryption | none (older models only) | **AES-128-CTR**, key from the app | | Works on | AC300, AC200M, EB3A, EP500P, … (older/plaintext generation) | newer **encrypted** generation: Elite / V2 / EP600, etc. | If `BluettiBLE` connects but never returns data and the unit disconnects after a few seconds, your device is the newer encrypted generation — use **`BluettiADV`** instead (see [Advertisement mode](#advertisement-mode-bluettiadv) below). The connection/control channel on those models is locked behind a proprietary handshake and is not supported; the advertisement channel is open and documented. ## Supported devices | Model | Enum | Status (from reference project) | |----------|------------------|---------------------------------| | AC300 | `BLUETTI_AC300` | Tested | | AC200M | `BLUETTI_AC200M` | Tested (per-cell voltages) | | EB3A | `BLUETTI_EB3A` | Tested | | EP500P | `BLUETTI_EP500P` | Tested (per-cell voltages) | | AC500 | `BLUETTI_AC500` | Minimal / untested | | EP500 | `BLUETTI_EP500` | Untested | | EP600 | `BLUETTI_EP600` | Partial (different register map)| ## Hardware requirements - Any ESP32 (ESP32, ESP32-S3, ESP32-C3 all work) with Bluetooth. ## Installation ### PlatformIO ```ini lib_deps = https://gitea.sh3d.com.au/Sh3d/BluettiBLE.git ``` Or drop the folder into your project's `lib/` directory. ### Arduino IDE Copy this folder into your Arduino `libraries/` directory and restart the IDE. ## Quick start ```cpp #include #include "BluettiBLE.h" BluettiBLE bluetti; void onBluettiData(const BluettiDevice* dev) { const BluettiData& d = dev->data; Serial.printf("\n=== %s (%s) ===\n", dev->name, d.model); Serial.printf("SoC: %u%%\n", d.totalBatteryPercent); Serial.printf("AC out: %u W DC out: %u W\n", d.acOutputPower, d.dcOutputPower); Serial.printf("AC in: %u W DC in: %u W\n", d.acInputPower, d.dcInputPower); Serial.printf("AC output: %s DC output: %s\n", d.acOutputOn ? "ON" : "off", d.dcOutputOn ? "ON" : "off"); Serial.printf("RSSI: %d dBm\n", dev->rssi); } void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); delay(1000); bluetti.begin(); bluetti.setDebug(false); bluetti.setCallback(onBluettiData); // The BLE name is what the unit advertises, e.g. "AC3001234567890". bluetti.addDevice("Shed AC300", "AC3001234567890", BLUETTI_AC300); } void loop() { bluetti.loop(); // non-blocking state machine } ``` ### Finding your device's BLE name Use any BLE scanner app (nRF Connect, LightBlue) and look for a device whose name begins with your model (e.g. `AC300…`, `AC200M…`, `EB3A…`). That full advertised name is the second argument to `addDevice()`. ## API reference ```cpp BluettiBLE(); bool begin(); bool addDevice(const char* name, const char* bleName, BluettiModel model); void setCallback(BluettiCallback cb); void setDebug(bool enable); void setPollInterval(uint32_t ms); // default 3000 bool isConnected() const; size_t getDeviceCount() const; void loop(); // call every loop iteration // Control (acts on the currently connected device) bool setACOutput(bool on); bool setDCOutput(bool on); ``` The callback is a plain function pointer: ```cpp typedef void (*BluettiCallback)(const BluettiDevice* device); ``` It fires once per completed poll cycle for the connected device. ## Data structures `BluettiDevice` describes the device and carries the latest snapshot: ```cpp struct BluettiDevice { char name[32]; // your label char bleName[32]; // advertised name matched on BluettiModel model; int8_t rssi; uint32_t lastUpdate; // millis() of last update bool connected; bool dataValid; BluettiData data; }; ``` `BluettiData` is a flat superset of values across models. Fields a given model does not report stay at `0`: ```cpp struct BluettiData { char model[16]; uint64_t serialNumber; float armVersion, dspVersion; uint8_t totalBatteryPercent; // % uint16_t dcInputPower, acInputPower; // W uint16_t acOutputPower, dcOutputPower; // W float powerGeneration; // kWh total bool acOutputOn, dcOutputOn; float acInputVoltage, acInputFrequency; float internalAcVoltage, internalAcFrequency; float internalDcInputVoltage, internalDcInputCurrent; float packVoltage; uint8_t packNum, packNumMax, packBatteryPercent; float cellVoltage[16]; // V, 0 if unsupported }; ``` ## How it works 1. **Scan** — active BLE scan for a device advertising the Bluetti service UUID `0000ff00-…` whose advertised name matches a registered device. 2. **Connect** — open a GATT client, negotiate MTU 517, resolve the write (`0000ff02-…`) and notify (`0000ff01-…`) characteristics, subscribe to notify. 3. **Poll** — every `pollInterval`, send an 8-byte read command (`prefix, cmd=0x03, page, offset, count, CRC-16/MODBUS`) for the next register range in the model's poll table. 4. **Parse** — notification responses are decoded against the model's register map (big-endian uint16, decimals, version, serial, strings) into a rolling snapshot; a completed cycle fires the callback. Control writes use the same frame with `cmd=0x06` and the value placed big-endian in the length field. ## Advertisement mode (`BluettiADV`) Newer Bluetti units (Elite, *V2, EP600, AC180, AC200L, …) refuse the plaintext connection but **broadcast** an encrypted monitoring snapshot in their BLE advertisements — no connection, no pairing, multiple listeners, low power. This is the same scheme Victron uses. `BluettiADV` reads it. You need two things from the owner's side: 1. The **16-byte AES key** (32 hex chars) — copy it from the BLUETTI app or the device's Webserver (Bluetooth-data / developer section). 2. The device's **BLE MAC address** — a scanner app shows it; confirm the unit broadcasts manufacturer data starting `06 0F` (company ID `0x0F06`). ```cpp #include #include "BluettiADV.h" BluettiADV bluetti; void onAdv(const BluettiAdvDevice* dev) { if (dev->lastRecordType == BLUETTI_ADV_MONITORING) { const auto& m = dev->monitoring; Serial.printf("SoC %u%% in %u W out %u W\n", m.soc, m.inputPower, m.outputPower); } } void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); bluetti.begin(5); bluetti.setDebug(true); bluetti.setCallback(onAdv); bluetti.addDevice("My Elite", "AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF", "112233445566778899aabbccddeeff00"); } void loop() { bluetti.loop(); } ``` The device cycles through several **record types**; each callback sets `dev->lastRecordType` and refreshes one of the sub-structs: - `BLUETTI_ADV_MONITORING` (`0x80`) — SoC, in/out power, charge state, event flags - `BLUETTI_ADV_BATTERY` (`0x02`) — pack voltage, current, temperature, SoC - `BLUETTI_ADV_INVERTER` (`0x0B`) — battery V/A, AC output, PV power, yield - `BLUETTI_ADV_CONFIG` (`0x81`) — modes (inverter, ECO, charging), settings This mode is **read-only** — there is no advertisement-based control. > Note: the advertisement bit-layout is implemented from Bluetti's official BLE > ADV spec (V1.0, 2025-07-10). The exact AES nonce/counter construction and a few > field offsets are best confirmed against a real packet — run with > `setDebug(true)` (it dumps the decrypted payload) and sanity-check a value or > two. Please report corrections. ## Examples - **BasicRead** — connect to one (older/plaintext) device and print all values. - **Control** — read, then toggle AC/DC output on a schedule. - **Logger** — print only when values change (snapshot/change-detection pattern). - **AdvMonitor** — read a newer (encrypted) device via `BluettiADV` advertisements. ## Adding a new model Copy a header in `src/devices/`, port the register/poll/command tables from the Bluetti_ESP32_Bridge project's `Device_*.h`, add a `BluettiModel` enum value, and register it in `getModelTables()` in `BluettiBLE.cpp`. ## License MIT — see [LICENSE](LICENSE).
