Smartshunt will not connect -
Hi @SEANV
Did you in the end succeed in updating the product?
If not, can you please tell what kind of phone you are using and post a service report here that is made after trying to update? This describes how to make a service report: https://ve3.nl/VictronConnect_How-to-create-a-VictronConnect-Service-Report
Kind regards,

There's no email to send the report to, how clever! If I am not within 12 inches of the product, it will not connect, yet I can receive the monitoring data across the entire RV. I should have purchased the battery with the BT monitor built in. I will be sure to warn others of the limitations on this product.
Hi @SEANV
Thank you for the extra information.
In the last few weeks we have received a limited number of reports where the range has suddenly decreased a lot. These were all using the same type of phone, a Samsung A33 5G. Therefore I was wondering what type of phone you are using.
Regarding the service report: can you save that onto you mobile and then attach it to a comment here (using the upload file icon above the message editor)?
Kind regards,

Please try working through the Bluetooth troubleshooting guide in the links.
I've worked through all of the troubleshooting - the signal is simply so weak that I must be within 12 inches of the product to connect and it still only connects for a short period before disconnecting again. This product should be sold as a periodic battery checking device and certainly not a battery monitoring device. Which it is not.
