For anyone finding this thread: there is now a native community app for BLUETTI — no ESP32 needed for units that are connected to Wi-Fi in the BLUETTI app.

It reads battery level, solar/grid input, AC/DC output and remaining time through the BLUETTI cloud (with real-time updates), can switch AC/DC outputs, and has an optional Bluetooth fallback for when Wi-Fi or the cloud is down.

So far it’s only tested with an Elite 30 V2. Units that only have Bluetooth (no Wi-Fi) aren’t supported yet. @Pappiedappie, if your AC180P is on Wi-Fi in the BLUETTI app, it would be great to hear whether it shows up.
