VE.Bus Smart dongle - Bluetooth module and voltage/temperature sensor
VE.Bus Smart dongle is a Bluetooth accessory for Victron inverter/chargers with a VE.Bus port, such as the MultiPlus, MultiPlus-II, Quattro or Phoenix VE.Bus inverters. Through the VictronConnect app it allows the system to be monitored and operated, and it also works as a voltage and temperature sense device. It suits caravans, motorhomes and smaller yachts.
Main features:
- Connectivity: Bluetooth, VictronConnect app
- Compatible with: Multi, MultiPlus-II, MultiGrid, Quattro, Phoenix VE.Bus
- Controls: input current limit, Off/On/Charger-only
- Sensing: voltage and temperature
- Instant Readout: key data, warnings and alarms in VictronConnect
The VE.Bus Smart dongle is two products in one:
First of all it is the Bluetooth accessory for our range of inverter/chargers: Multis, MultiPlusses, MultiPlus-II, MultiGrid, MultiGrid-II, Quattros, and our series of Phoenix Inverters with a VE.Bus port. When installed, use the VictronConnect App to monitor operation and also operate the system: change the input current limit as well as switch between Off, On and Charger-only modes.
Secondly it can work as a Voltage- and Temperature-sense device for the inverter/charger. This works with all models.
For monitoring, the device is a great alternative in caravans, smaller yachts and motor homes for which the Color Control GX or Venus GX are a step too far.
It also adds Instant Readout to the VE.Bus product and displays the inverter/charger's key data on the VictronConnect device list page without requiring a connection to the product. This includes visual notifications of warnings, alarms, and errors, allowing for at-a-glance diagnostics.
