Will Globallink 520 read via BT from BMV-700 with dongle?

Will a Globallink 520 read data via Bluetooth from a BMV-700 equipped with a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle?


Thanks

I now have a GlobalLink 520 reading from a BMV-700 via Bluetooth through a BE.Direct Bluetooth Smart Dongle. The data from the BMV-700 shows in VRM portal as desired.

The BMV700 doesn’t have Instant Readout via Bluetooth (See manual page 7), so I doubt that adding a Bluetooth Smart Dongle will change that situation.

jolir,

Thanks for your answer! I went to my boat and checked the setup with VictronConnect. The Smart dongle does show "Instant readout":

I guess it's an attribute of the dongle, not the BMV. That should be a good sign.
