You need a GX device. You cannot connect the battery to a Multiplus directly.

Is this the same as pylintech? If so have you done a Google search?

Returns lots of links, YouTube videos and configuration guides have you read any material or user manuals? Specific questions are easier to answer.

You need a driver that can do that for you and then it depends on the BMS you use.

See https://github.com/Louisvdw/dbus-serialbattery/wiki
