I can’t see my solar controller in VictronConnect anymore

I had to restart my victron system after my batteries failed. It’s all back up and working properly but I can no longer see my Smartsolar charge controller (MPPT 100|50) in the Victron Connect Device List. I can see it via my Cerbo GX and it’s charging (when the sun is out :-). Also pressed the orange refresh button, bottom right. Any advice on why it’s not being detected in the Victron Connect Device List please?

The bluetooth might think that it is connected to another device, and need a reboot.

Turn pv breakers off, then turn the batt breaker off for 30 seconds.

Turn batt back on, then the pv breakers.

Fingers crossed the bluetooth is now accessible.

OK so it took a while for me to get back round to this but in the end I disconnected the controller from the battery by removing a midi fuse, reconnected and it came back up on Victron Connect via Bluetooth again…. So basically switched it off and on again and it started working again :-)
