My plan as of today is to develop support for Renogy, Juntek and then Daly BMS systems and smart batteries (in that order as that was the order in which they were requested). I haven't yet recruited a developer on this forum who can help me so I ask for your patience. Eventually, I'll need you to test which will likely involve some going back and forth.

Not a lot a dev can do but in this case the (albeit tech savvy) user figured it out for themselves after googling around for a bit.

I'm aware but not everyone else is-- especially plugin users who have been using their phones to get BT sensor data and are only now learning that the Bluetooth connection from their computer can be unreliable with USB3 devices attached to it.

The problem bears repeating in this thread as BTLE devices are affected by the interference.
(A problem was reported on github today where a number of Govee devices disappeared from the plugin -- reported as OUT OF RANGE-- because the user had plugged in a USB3 device and the devices were nearby. )

@Sailabout if you can find the Bluetooth protocols, I can put the 123smartbms in the queue of sensors to do. NB: The link refers to a project that uses the device's serial protocol.

The plugin will detect any device that advertises but not be able to parse any relevant values without some investigation. Every bluetooth device has its protocol for broadcasting data. I'd have to know what that is. Then develop and test a Daly BMS connection class.
There is a HomeAssistant / MQTT alternative called batmon-ha that's interesting https://forum.esk8.news/t/homeassistant-bluetooth-bms-monitoring-server-guide-esp32/78833 Can't vouch for its accuracy though. If batmon-ha works with the Daly then I (or some other less busy programmer) can create a nodejs connection class for it.
In any case, I'll put Daly BMS on the list of bluetooth devices to be supported. Writing a connection class will take a time and some back and forth with you or another Daly user (as I don't have the device on hand).
