Owners of JBD-based LiFePO₄ battery packs
Worth noticing
The installation guide says the monitor reads over RS485 without writing settings back to the battery.

Field notes

The unit is described as preconfigured for a JBD model and connects to the battery over RS485, with USB-C power; setup proceeds through the device’s Wi-Fi to the home network, then a browser dashboard. The site lists Home Assistant, MQTT, JSON API, Jeedom, Node-RED, Domoticz, and openHAB integrations, and says the cloud keeps three years of history. Its live demo uses simulated readings, so it does not verify performance on a real battery.
