server.py
- --device is now repeatable (-d ups1:/dev/ttyUSB0 -d ups2:/dev/ttyUSB1). Bare paths (/dev/ttyUSB0) auto-name from the last path component (ttyUSB0).
- Maintains {name: {ser, data, timestamp}} per UPS — each device has independent data freshness.
- GET response is now {ups_name: JBDUPS}. Accepts optional ups key in the request to return only one.
client.py
- read_data() gains ups=None parameter — pass a name to filter server-side, or omit for all.
- Always returns {ups_name: JBDUPS}.
influxdb.py
- influxdb_create_snapshot() iterates {name: JBDUPS} and tags every InfluxDB point with ups=name.
- influxdb_export() / bmspy-influxdb gain --ups to export only a specific UPS.
__init__.py
- bmspy CLI gains --ups to display only a named UPS.
- Displays each UPS under a === name === header.

bmspy
bmspy is a tool to get information from a xiaoxiang-type BMS system, using some sort of serial connection.
It can display the information as text, in JSON, or export the data continuously to InfluxDB or a Prometheus exporter.
Multiple BMS/UPS devices can be connected at once. Each is identified by a name, and data from all of them (or just one) can be pushed to InfluxDB or Prometheus in the same connection, with each measurement tagged with the UPS name.
To install: git clone https://git.treehouse.org.za/tim/bmspy cd bmspy poetry install
Or, to install with influxdb and/or prometheus support: poetry install -E influxdb -E prometheus
Running the server
The server daemon reads from one or more serial devices and makes the data available over a Unix socket.
Single device (defaults to /dev/ttyUSB0):
poetry run bmspy-server
Multiple devices, with optional names (default name is derived from the device path, e.g. ttyUSB0):
poetry run bmspy-server -d network:/dev/ttyUSB0 -d nas:/dev/ttyUSB1
To run via systemd, copy bmspy-server.service to /etc/systemd/system, adjust WorkingDirectory and the ExecStart line as needed, then enable and start it:
cp bmspy-server.service /etc/systemd/system
$EDITOR /etc/systemd/system/bmspy-server.service
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable bmspy-server
systemctl start bmspy-server
Running a client
To print a summary of all connected UPSes:
poetry run bmspy
To show only a specific UPS:
poetry run bmspy --ups network
To push data for all UPSes to InfluxDB (each measurement is tagged ups=<name>):
poetry run bmspy-influxdb --url https://influx.example.com --org myorg --token mytoken
To push data for a single UPS only:
poetry run bmspy-influxdb --ups network --url ...
InfluxDB connection details can also be supplied via environment variables (INFLUXDB_V2_URL, INFLUXDB_V2_ORG, INFLUXDB_V2_TOKEN) instead of command-line flags.
