Hi,
I am planning to install a Raspberry Pi 4B with Venus OS to monitor my setup in the motorhome via 2 x VE.Direct to USB for the MPPT & Smartshunt and a MK3-USB for the Multiplus.
The question relates to my planned setup as outlined above (and a sanity check in case there is something that I have missed or am not aware of) and lastly comms between the MPPT and the Smartshunt post deployment.
Current setup is a single Sterling Power 120Ah LiFePO with internal BMS with charging when the engine is running through a Sterling Power B2B. DC power monitoring is via a Victron Smartshunt and solar is managed by a Victron 75/15 MPPT with both being networked using VictronConnect. The inverter/charger is a Victron Multiplus 12/1600/70.
The MPPT has a BT dongle connected to the VE.Direct port which I will need to disconnect for the VE.Direct to USB cable. So the question is will the MPPT monitor DC loads via the Venus OS?
Any comments appreciated.
