Hi
I need some inspiration to solve this problem somehow.
I have a SimpBMS which sends Battery Data over serial (USB) in text. Looks like this:

Now I want this battery cell data in home assistant so that I can analyze a problem I’m having with the battery.
The battery is far a way from my home assistant yellow.
I was wondering if I could do it with an ESP-home device, or if I have to throw a raspberry pi at the problem… and if so… how would I then do it?
Any ideas?
