It supports all MPPTs with a VE.Direct port, any new Victron MPPT that you can buy today has a VE.Direct port from 75V versions and up.

The other two are the current VE.Can devices which are also supported but don't have a VE.Direct port.

Non-bluetooth AKA Bluesolar units do have a VE.Direct port and will connect to any Venus device.

The Smartsolar units have both VE.Direct and Bluetooth connectivity.

The VenusOS is a variant of Linux. It can also run on a RaspberryPi.

What will I need to do to connect 4 MPPTs, a temperature sensor, and BVM to Venus GX besides these components and the Venus?
