Blue Solar MPPT and Smart Solar MPPT network issue

Hi,

I’ve created a network for 3 off Smart Solar MPPT controllers and one off Blue Solar using a Bluetooth dongle, does the Blue Solar have synchronised charging via the dongle or is it only read by the Smart Solar Chargers?

I cannot see the blue solar in the “Network Total Power” and it was in Float while the Smart Solars were still in absorption.

Do I need to update the old blue solar charger to smart solar charger to get synchronised charging and see it in the total network power?

Hi

Synchronized charging is not available for the BlueSolar MPPTs. This and more information can be found here: https://www.victronenergy.com/media/pg/VE.Smart_Networking/en/ve-smart-product-compatibility.html

Kind regards,
