question

Hello,

There is an option in the VictronConnect settings screen to keep the screen on as long as VictronConnect is the active application. While the screen is on, VictronConnect will not close the connection and thus also not clear the trends graphs. The settings screen can be entered via the "hamburger" button on the top left of the main device list screen.

Kind regards,

The best way for long term monitoring and system integration is a gx device

So either a Rasp pi with venus os on it, for small systems if you like diy stuff. With ve direct to usb cables to connect the shunt and mppt. Or get a Cerbo. It has its own wifi or bluetooth for monitoring and you can get it to log.

The mppt cannot directly connect to the smart shunt with cables. You can use smart networking though logging also will be an issue there.

ahhh, I missed that. i was looking at the various settings available *after* I was connected to my smartshunt.

excellent. I'm getting a DC compressor fridge (Norcold N2175) installed in my camper next month to replace the old absorption fridge (dometic RMD8555 w/a failed controller and no parts availability), and I want to monitor its power consumption over time, and was very annoyed the smartshunt had zero memory and the app only showed the history while it stayed connected.

now comes the fun part, my 'spare' tablet I was hoping to dedicate to this monitoring, its Micro USB charging jack is flakey. it works if I put it flat on a table an put something like a pair of pliers under the cord so its 'torqued' upwards a bit, then it charges fine. I can see it now, where I wall mount this tablet and put a rubber block or something under the USB plug to tweak it enough to make content, hah hah hah. oh, never mind.

my Bluesolar Vitron 100/20 48V, home made VE direct cable is not working to ant android phone or laptop. i can find the VE cable to buy. i am stuck for 2 month now help
