Will the current EasySolar II GX get bluetooth and VE Can port profile?

Hello!

I just got my 24/3000 EasySolar II GX device from warehouse and have updated it to latest firmware 2.84.


I Found this in the changelog

v2.84 – February 16th 2022

Changes:

  • GX LTE / GX GSM: Fix connection not working when an APN is required by either the SIM card or the operator. This issue was introduced per v2.80.
  • Add selectable VE.Can port profile for MultiPlus-II GX and EasySolar-II GX new hardware revision. For more details about this, see footnote 23 in the GX device datasheet.


  1. Late 2021 / early 2022, the hardware of the MultiPlus-II GX and EasySolar-II GX product range has been updated. The update adds Bluetooth and changes the CAN-communications port from a limited 500kbps BMS-Can only type to a full featured VE.Can port (non-isolated). Status per model:
    1. MultiPlus-II GX 48V 3kVA; introduced per HQ2124, shipping from most warehouses (Australia, Spain, Netherlands)
    2. EasySolar-II GX 24V 3kVA; introduced per HQ2203, not shipping yet.
    3. All other models: not implemented yet.

Does this mean the older models will get this implemented later or does the current hardware of the 24/3000 not going to have Bluetooth and VE Can port functionalituy?

I have right now the 2.84 version installed and can only se BMS-Can bus 500kbit in the settings.


I was wondering if i would be able to connect the Ruuvi BT temp sensors to the EasySolar II GX device etc.?

It was a hardware improvement that was implemented into those newer units.
Units with serial numbers before those published do not have the hardware capabilities, no sort of firmware updates would remedy this.

Hi,

you will still be able to connect a bluetooth dongle to the GX for adding the Ruuvis.


I saw a list with some tested devices here recently (not able to find it right now).


I bought one for my older Multiplus GX (still have no Ruuvi, but I can connect to the GX via Bluetooth from my mobile phone now already)

So i guess a BT dongle is the only way to get the Ruuvis to work the current hardware!

Hi.

got a EasySolar GX II 24V 3000kVA delivered this week.

The SN is HQ2203...

So it should have the HW update - right?

There should be the Bluetooth logo on the unit.

Hallo,

which dongles are supported? Or can i buy new only GX hardware (Nanopi) without the MPPT and MP2? I'm interested because i have an 450/100 MPPT and i think the VE Bus connection is better than the VE.direct and later when i buy a second MPPT i had to connect this via USB adapter, because my Easysolar2GX have only 1 VE.Direct port. The BT is also interesting for me to connect the jk-bms via jk-ble

Lukas

p.s. sorry for my english
