So I recently ordered (but not unwrapped) a Orion Tr 12/12 30
But it cannot do VE.Smart. It has bluetooth, but cannot connect to the Smart.Shunt
The Orion XS however confuses me: The document *tells me* it *will* have smart later this year. But the device does not even have a Bluetooth Logo. But it does have VE.Connect. So am I being tricked into also buying a Bluetooth dongle?
It is already twice the price of the Orion-Tr, to then also have to add a dongle....
The Orion XS has BT but currently no VE.Smart Networking but this will be added in the next 2-3 weeks.
And for the rest it is also a normal B2B charger right? I notice it is also a lot smaller then the Tr. Almost too small for a 50Amp buck/boost device.
So, I can use the XS also to deal with my Euro6 camper, fully charge my aux battery from my generator, even when the generator reduced it voltage?
(I probably will have to limit the current to 20 or 30 amps though, not sure thinking I can get 50Amps out of my car is realistic)
