The connector is a 4 Pin GH Molex Pico 1.25mm. Do not connect the ESP to the VCC pin of the DPS in any case. This will destroy the voltage regulator of the device.

You can install this component with ESPHome external components feature like this:

external_components:
  - source: github://syssi/esphome-dps@main

or just use the esp32-example.yaml as proof of concept:

# Install esphome
pip3 install esphome

# Clone this external component
git clone https://github.com/syssi/esphome-dps.git
cd esphome-dps

# Create a secrets.yaml containing some setup specific secrets
cat > secrets.yaml <<EOF
wifi_ssid: MY_WIFI_SSID
wifi_password: MY_WIFI_PASSWORD

mqtt_host: MY_MQTT_HOST
mqtt_username: MY_MQTT_USERNAME
mqtt_password: MY_MQTT_PASSWORD
EOF

# Validate the configuration, create a binary, upload it, and start logs

Debugging

If this component doesn't work out of the box for your device please update your configuration to enable the debug output of the UART component and increase the log level to the see outgoing and incoming serial traffic:

logger:
  level: DEBUG

uart:
  id: uart_0
  baud_rate: 9600
  tx_pin: ${tx_pin}
  rx_pin: ${rx_pin}
  debug:
    direction: BOTH

esphome-dps's Issues

DPS3005 no response

I have connected a ESP32 (NodeMCU-32 V1.3) to a DPS3005. Mine came without a connector, but i just soldered some cables to it.

I double-checked all connections, tried to switch RX and TX, tried different Pins but still, it does not work...

Add select entity to control the backlight brightness

Add start and stop voltage setting

Monitor the input/battery voltage and go into a Standby mode if the stop voltage is reached. Go back to the Normal mode if the battery gets charged and the start voltage is reached again.

Add XY6020 support

Not working:

• Output switch
• Firmware version

@creepystefan

DPS Model DPS5005 shows Amps with a multiplication factor of 10

Watt display is OK but Amp displays with a factor of 10. Therefore limited to max 20 = 2A.

Add select entity to load a preset

Alternative Firmware Profimax 4.3

Hello,
I have installed the DPS firmware versin 4.3 from Profimax (very good firmware for this device). So I testet it with this esphome software. After changing the uart speed to 115200 I was able to communicate with my power supply.
Unfortunately I am only able to read the values, but I can't write anything.
There is a ESP01 installed. When I use my own Arduino firmware everything works fine. So the wiring is correct.

Do someone have any advice?
Tanks in advance.
Bernd

Make (default) setting registers configurable

Probably most important: S-OVP, S-OCP, S-OPP
