Cerbo GX Touch 50 Device Display List

I have a new setup that I've just installed and started using. Everything is working great. Multiplus II inverter/charger, cerbo GX with the GX 50, smart shunt, and two mppt controllers. Here is my problem, I can't get the second mppt controller to show up on the GX 50 display. The first mppt is a smart mppt which shows up. The second is a blue solar with the bluetooth dongle to communicate with the rest of the system. I think I have the current firmware for everything.

I know both mppt controllers are working because in full sun, they are both producing and I can see them both on the victron connect app on my phone.

Is it possible to add the second mppt controller to the GX 50 display?

Thanks!

You need to connect the BlueSolar MPPT to the Cerbo with a VE.direct cable.

Since the MPPT has only one VE.direct port you can only have the connection to the Cerbo or the Bluetooth dongle connected to it.

Your going to have to rip the bt dongle out of the bluesolar (ouch!) and connect the bluesolar to the cerbo via a VE Direct cable.

Connect & Configure Remotely with VictronConnect
