VRM portal ID for SmartSolar MPPT 75/15
Hi Chris
Unfortunately, the MPPT its self does not communicate with VRM. It does not have a network connection of any sort.
VRM requires a gateway device, known as a Venus device. Either a CCGX, Venus GX etc. The Venus device then has a network connection to transfer the data to VRM.
Another option is to use a RaspberryPi with the Venus image running on it. If you go down the RaspberryPi route, you'll need a VE.Direct - USB adaptor to connect your MPPT to the RaspberryPi.
More information about VRM is here in the VRM Manual, starting with the requirements:
