Problem
I see errors in my hass logs because some of the data from my dcdc converter can not be parsed. This issue has already been resolved in victron-ble 0.6.0.

Solution
Update victron-hass to use victron-ble version 0.6.0.

It would be great if victron-hacs could keep up with future changes in victron-ble.

I've done that and more over here: https://github.com/j9brown/victron-hacs

(I'll have to look into submitting some pull requests. I just made these changes for my own benefit.)

Cool thing to see that other people want to move this repo forward, too! Thanks for the link to your fork.
PR would be nice, but this repo seems kind of abandoned. Last commit is now almost a year ago.

@j9brown Do you know if all sensor history data will be preserved if I switch to your fork? Do I need to remove the current one first and then install your one in HACS? Or first install your one and remove the current one afterwards?

Switching forks should maintain history. Home Assistant has no way to distinguish where the code came from. Here’s how I would do it:

  • Make a full backup of Home Assistant just in case
  • Open HACS, navigate to Integrations
  • Click on the existing Victron BLE integration
  • Click the Remove menu item, when prompted whether to delete existing entities select Ignore (keep them!)
  • Go back to the HACS Integrations page
  • Click the Custom Repositories menu item, add the URL for my fork as an Integration
  • After a moment, you should see my new version of Victron BLE appear in the grid as a new integration, click Install
  • Restart Home Assistant
  • If anything goes wrong, restore from your backup and please let me know
