On a summer long RV trip. I have a 280AH Eco-worthy battery that was working great. A couple days ago the Bluetooth quit working so I can no longer connect through the app. No idea of SOC or other data.
I do have a Victron smartshunt so can track the SOC that way but I want the Eco-worthy app to work. That's one of the main reasons I bought this battery. I did submit a support ticket but with the holiday weekend haven't heard back yet. I've tried my android phone, macbook laptop, and ipad and neither is working. When I open the EW app it doesn't connect to the battery.
Any thoughts on how to get bluetooth working again?
I have this issue. My battery is brand new. I charged it to 100% and put it on my caravan, all was working well. I used some 12v in the caravan and could see the discharge, and recharge etc.
I drained the battery to around 90% and then charged it again using the caravan charger, it got to 99% and then the app disconnected. Now the BMS bluetooth device is no longer broadcasting, so there is no way to view the BMS status. THe battery appears to be working otherwise, and the dedicated lithium charger I have states 100% charge.
Assume this is busted? I cant see any way to reset the bluetooth or to do anything myself?
Did you find a solution out of interest?
(mine is the standard / basic 100a LifePo4 with bluetooth (the black battery with organge sticker, not the all orange box)
I had a similar issue with my battery where Bluetooth suddenly stopped responding and it was really frustrating since I also relied on the app. I sometimes feel like troubleshooting these things is basket randomly confusing. Have you already tried disconnecting all devices and reinstalling the app before reconnecting?
I had this issue but appear to have fixed it. Same battery - 280Ah. In my setup I have the battery plus some Renogy devices which all have Bluetooth. I have a Raspberry Pi accessing all of them to pull back data. Also have the same eco-worthy app.
All was working the. The battery just stopped being accessible. Neither the Pi or the App could see it and it wasn't showing on a Bluetooth scan. Tried disconnecting the battery from everything and left it for a while, tried putting some current into it. No Bluetooth.
I was still getting data from the other devices so assumed it was the BMS. But then I tried rebooting the Pi and the battery was immediately visible to both the Pi and the App.
Done a bit of digging into Bluetooth. If the BMS thinks that it has a Bluetooth connection then it doesn't advertise itself. There is no way (I can see ) to reset the Bluetooth on the BMS.
I think the Pi was holding the connection open so rebooting it caused it to drop any ghost connections , which caused to BMS to re-advertise itself.
So if the battery is not responding, try deleting the battery out of the app. Then scan for it again.
