The Pace BMS in your rack battery, on Wi-Fi and anywhere in the world
Many 48 V rack batteries sold under dozens of names run on a Pace board. Pace Monitor reads it over RS485 and keeps every cell in view: at home on your Wi-Fi and, through the free Cloud, from anywhere in the world.

Built for home automation
Put your Pace to work in your smart home
A classic monitor stops at a screen and an app. Pace Monitor sends every value to Home Assistant, Jeedom or Domoticz, so your home can act on it.

Sensors that create themselves
MQTT discovery builds the devices in Home Assistant, Domoticz and openHAB. No YAML to write.
Local, with no cloud in the loop
Everything runs on your network, even with the internet down. No account needed.
Safe to automate
The box only reads. No automation can change a setting of your equipment.

Pre-configured for your model
Pace makes the battery management board found inside a large number of 48 V server-rack batteries, often with another name on the front panel. The usual way to look inside is PbmsTools: a Windows program, a laptop carried to the battery and a serial cable. Few owners do that more than once or twice a year, so the board keeps most of what it knows to itself.
Pace Monitor stays connected to the rack through its RS485 socket and keeps those values in view: on its own colour screen, on a local web dashboard you open from your phone, and in Home Assistant. It only reads, so your settings and the link to the inverter stay as they are.
What you get
SOC and SOH
State of charge, state of health, remaining and full capacity, as calculated by the board.
Temperatures
Cell probes, MOSFET and ambient readings, up to six values depending on the board.
Warnings in plain words
Warnings, protections and faults decoded into text, with the time they appeared.
Home Assistant
MQTT auto-discovery creates the sensors; a local JSON API serves Jeedom, Node-RED and the rest.
No laptop, no writes
Your phone replaces the trip with a laptop for daily checks; nothing is written to the BMS.
Made for the way you use your Pace
A smart home
Home Assistant or Jeedom receive every value in about a minute; your automations do the rest.
DIY pack builders
Every cell and the balancing, to check your build and catch a weak cell early.
Off-grid, van or boat
No internet? Local Wi-Fi is enough. Internet available? The Cloud adds remote viewing.
Installers
Follow your customers’ systems with your own Cloud access, without asking for their passwords.
A rack battery, followed day after day
The chart follows power and state of charge hour by hour. Beside it, the cell spread tells you whether the balancing keeps up at the end of each charge, and the temperatures show how the rack lives through a hot afternoon or a cold night.
With the free Cloud, follow the rack from anywhere in the world, compare weeks and export CSV files.

Cloud Access · 100% Free: your battery, live, from anywhere
A rack battery usually lives in a garage or a technical room, far from where you spend your day. The free Cloud shows its cells, its state of health and its warnings from wherever you are, without carrying a laptop down there.
Live dashboard from anywhere
Every value and every cell, refreshed on their own, on your phone.
Up to 3 years of history
Charge, kWh in and out, temperatures, cell spread, day by day.

Installer access
Your installer gets a view of the system without your password, and your access stays yours.
€0per month, per year, forever
Optional: your box stays fully local if you prefer. Switch the Cloud on or off in its settings at any time.
How the free Cloud works →Your Pace BMS in Home Assistant, Jeedom and Node-RED
Cell voltages, state of health, temperatures and warnings become sensors, so your automations can react long before anyone would have opened PbmsTools.
Ideas people set up first
Warnings, in words
When binary_sensor.pace_monitor_pack1_alarm turns on, a notification gives you the text of the warning and the highest cell at that moment.
Shed load in time
If the rack falls under 15%, the dryer and the oven are switched off on smart plugs before the board has to protect itself.
Surplus to the water heater
When the rack is above 95% and still charging, the water heater is switched on so the sun is not wasted.
A hot room
When sensor.pace_monitor_pack1_temperature_1 passes 35 °C, a fan in the battery room is switched on and you get a note.
Plug & play
In Home Assistant in about a minute
Type the address of Home Assistant in the box, a user and its password: that’s it. The Pace Monitor device and all its sensors appear on their own, ready for your dashboards and the Energy page.

A different Pace model? Mention it in your order and we prepare and test the box for it.
One RJ45 cable, on the socket next to CAN
The box plugs into the RS485 socket of the rack, usually next to the CAN socket, and takes its power from any USB charger. The link sockets between packs and the inverter cable are not touched.
The design is that of Pylon-Monitor, which already watches Pylontech batteries, with an RS485 / CAN board and firmware written for the Pace protocol.
Designed and assembled in France
Prepared and tested in France, box by box, by the same team that builds Pylon-Monitor for Pylontech batteries.
