iPhone 4s / 5 no longer see Victron devices.

Since the last Victron update I no longer can see or connect my iPhone 4S or iPhone5 to any of my Victron devices.

Is there a fix for this ? Or a method to roll back the device software? Thanks

Hi @Datsports

Which VictronConnect version is running on the iPhone 4S or iPhone5?

Hi @Datsports

The problem is that VictronConnect v5.8 is not able to see the devices when Instant Readout is enabled. So either disable Instant Readout on the MPPTs or use a newer VictronConnect, which requires an iPhone 5S or newer.

The MacBook should still be able to connect though.

Kind regards,
