Cerbo GX, Ruuvi Tags, NMEA2000

Need some assistance...
I have a Victron system with Cerbo GX connected to NMEA2000 and two Ruuvi Bluetooth Tags onboard. I would like to output temp and eventually humidity to NMEA2000 to read on my MFD and instruments. After some research, I have installed Venus Large OS, and Signal K. But it stops here. Can any advice how to setup the system to send info from Ruuvi tags to NMEA2000?

@HCGrande You need to look at the SignalK to NMEA2000 output plugin. This will allow you to select various data paths and export them as N2k.

Do I need to add data into "source for environment....."?

Only fill in source if you have multiple sources for the same path, else leave it blank.

Thanks for responses. Venus plugin was missing and I could not find the Ruuvi tags in the data Browser. Will do some more testing onboard tomorrow :-)

What version of VenusOS large are you running. The Victron plugin is installed and configured by default.

I am picking this tread up again. I got this partly up and running, limited to Air temp using pgn 130310. The issue I have now is that Raymarine do not support the PGN 130312, they only support PGN 130316 for extended temps like fridge , engine room etc. Do any know if there is plans for adding the PGN130316 to Signal K / N2K plugin in near future?


If this is not in the pipeline, is there maybe ways to convert data by use of Node Red?
