I have a cheap solar charger like the one below and I was wondering if there is a way to integrate this into esphome to read the solar charge volage and battery readings
I am going to assume not as i can’t find anything via google so I will have to build something if i want this info
Yeah a voltage divder is easy to do but if this controller already does these measuments I was just curious if there was an easy way to get them. I take it that this is not available via usb…
I might get another and take one apart ans see what ot is doing.
In My search around to see if there was a way to do this with teh cheap controller I have I think I found something that will work, the Victron solar charger seems to fit what i want. And it is not that much more expensive.
Although not complicated to do voltage measurement this will give me a little more info and also some automation features, and make my circuit less complicated and therefore less likely for mistakes
An in light of certain comments I have seen about issue with the cheap controller, it might be a safer option
