This is basic information on how to use the JBD BMS LIFEPO (Overkill Solar) RS485 interface connected to the RS485 to TCP adapter USR-DR302 in Home Assistant, using jbdtool or jbd for Windows to publish MQTT messages to MQTT broker on Home Assistant

For the moment, I’m leaving my post on the other forum on how to configure all this.
Soon I’ll copy it and paste it here with the correct format.
I wanted everyone interested to have access to this fabulous resource I found today!

Also would be really nice to have a battery icon or image that increases it’s size or contend based on the remaining capacity of the battery
