bt-sensors-plugin-sk Victron Battery Sense no temperature
I added my Victron Battery Sense in the bt-sensors-plugin. But, there is no field to provide the temperature in that plugin. That is one of the main parameters to get from this device. How can the temperature be added to the plugin?

Hi I'm the developer of the plugin.
Does the Battery Sense have an auxiliary mode that can be set by the Victron App?
If so, set it to Temp (default for shunt, for example, is starter voltage).
If not, I'd need to make some changes to the plugin or the Battery Monitor code to accommodate the Battery Sense product line. Code was developed from the specs provided by Victron and was tested on a Shunt and several Battery Monitors but not a Battery Sense.
Also, can you send a screenshot of the SK config screen?
The Battery Sense provides only two parameters, voltage and temperature. There are no settings to designate a mode or anything else. Very basic device that provides "accurate" readings from a single battery. It connectes directly ot the battery terminals.
I'll add a new class for the Battery Sense product line. I don't have access to one. Do you mind working together on this? Sending logs etc? If you can get me shell access to your setup that'd be ideal but I'd understand if you couldn't.
glad to work with you on this.
