So I wanted to control my Bluetti AC180 via HA, and installed this integration: GitHub - Patrick762/hassio-bluetti-bt: Bluetti Integration for Home Assistant · GitHub but I ran into the problem that I could only read values and not control the settings via HA. Then I read in one of the reported issues that supposedly it was possible to implement writing too, over the existing encryption implementation. I then went through all of the 56 forks to see if someone succesfully implemented that and as I was nearing the end of the list and had found not one that actually worked, when I stumbled upon this one:
And guess what, it worked!! I can now control settings like the AC or DC output switch.
To install, use HACS then click on the three dots, top right corner, select “custom repositories” then select the link I just posted, as ‘integration’, download it and reboot.
It’s sometimes frustrating how awesome integration (mods) are sometimes hard to find. I know there are several users here with Bluetti hardware so I’m sure this is going to make somebody happy here. Enjoy!
BTW there’s also this fork: GitHub - atiweb/hassio-bluetti-bt: Bluetti Integration for Home Assistant · GitHub which enables writing (so modifying settings) for the Bluetti AC2P, so if you have that specific model, you might want to try that one.
I’m sure at one point all this will be merged into the main branch but at the time of writing (20th march 2026) it’s not while these forks are already 2 months old.
