Please add instant readout for BSC IP65 12/15

[btraversjr21]

equest sensor data for BSC IP65 12/15. I am prompted for the encryption key when it detects the device and the correct MAC, but HA will list it and says no devices or sensors.

Now that Victron has instant readout data for this charger it would be nice to have in home assistant. At least these sensors;
Charging State
Battery Voltage
Battery Current

I have tried other Victron IR integrations, but they do not work at all. I much prefer this repo.

Same with BSC IP22 12/30.
Victron connect app shows Voltage Current And charging status:

Thanks

These are exactly my wishes. But with my BSC IP65 12/15 there is (still?) no instant readout. What firmware do you have? I have v3.21, bootloader v2.07 installed and there is no update available. The Victron Connect app (Android) is up to date and does not contain an update. My BSC IP22 provides BT instant readout since last FW-Update but don't work with this integration.

I switched to ESPhome with ESP32 for Victron Integration in HA https://github.com/Fabian-Schmidt/esphome-victron_ble/

Thanks for the hint @BikeAtor. May you post your .yaml for the IP22 or IP65? It's not so easy...

Great, thanks! Looks like mine, but don't work... No errors, see all entities in HA but no values ("unknown").

No real Idea: try lowercase id's and MAC in Format (Uppercase) AB:CD:DE:... not the format shown in the App.

[FloX5E70]

No effect ( ":" is not accepted). Add my Smart Battery Sense to this yaml and it work's without problems.

Works perfect with my IP22 15 along with two smart battery meters - thanks for adding that charger!
