I just bought a Smartsolar 100/30 and a 500amp Smartshunt and installed in my motorhome. They both of course have Bluetooth built in.
Problem is they are inside a metal compartment so inside the motorhome I have about a 2 foot range from the compartment. So I bought 1 of the VE.Direct Bluetooth dongles and have it plugged into the shunt and run outside the metal compartment to the inside the motorhome and it works great, for the shunt.
Do I need a 2nd dongle for the charge controller or is there a way to network them together locally (inside the same compartment) and be able to access them both from the 1 dongle?
Also, the cord on the dongle is short, is there an extension?
Thanks in advance
