Controlling of charge/discharge via UART-TTL works fine, balancer does not

[cflenker]

This project is awesome and I am very thankful for that.
I just tried to switch on/off charging and discharging via UART-TTL and it works fine.
Then I tried to include the balancer-switch in the yaml-file, but this did not compile.
Is it a limitation of the jkbms that the balancer can not be switched on/off via UART-TLL but only via bluetooth.
Or is it just not implemented in this project?
Thank you very much!!!

Could you provide the error message? It should compile in general and if you don't own a v11 BMS you should be able to enable balancing using this switch (via UART-TTL).

Thanks a lot for the quick response!
I just took esp32-example.yaml as a blueprint and added the balancer:

switch:
- platform: jk_bms
charging:
name: "${name} charging"
discharging:
name: "${name} discharging"
balancer:
name: "${name} balancer"

Then I get the following error when trying to compile it:

[balancer] is an invalid option for [switch.jk_bms]. Please check the indentation.

My BMS is Hardware Version V10.XW and Software Version V10.09.

Thanks a lot!!!

Oh, my fault. The balancer switch isn't available yet:

Do you want to give it another try? I will push a change.
