Home Assistant adds a local connection for the BLUETTI Balco 260 power station, reading 45 sensors over Modbus TCP. The connection continues to work without the internet or BLUETTI’s cloud; this first integration does not change charging settings or write to the device.
Each poll checks the device’s serial number so a different unit at the same address cannot feed readings into the wrong history. Hardware testing covers the Balco 260; other models, expansion packs and writable controls remain outside this first implementation.
