How to monitor ALL your batteries via Bluetooth. Testing the free BATMON integration.

This is a project I'm working on for quite some time now. As you have seen in previous videos, I was very determined to build this network cabinet in the Off-Grid Garage. One of the reasons was, I needed Bluetooth access through Home Assistant inside the garage to connect to a bunch of batteries. It was always my dream to have a dashboard showing me all my 12V batteries with all details instead of logging in to them one after another.
A while back I found the Batmon integration for Home Assistant which promised to connect to the most common BMS via Bluetooth, read all the data and make it available in Home Assistant. It supposed to support JK, JBD, Daly, Ant and many other BMS and even the Victron Smart Shunt.
So, here I'm testing this solution and share my experience. Can it read all my BMS including the new JK inverter BMS and make the Peter Boards obsolete?
