Advice needed: Installing Color Control GX + MPPT 150/85 + BMV 712

Im installing my Color Control GX panel today in my motorhome. I have my BMV and MPPT physically located in the basement of my coach. Im running wires now to locate the GX panel to the inside cabin and noticing that this is no small task. Is it possible to just run 1 V.E. Direct cable to access both devices? I have them both networked together via bluetooth, if this helps at all.

In other words, Im looking for the easiest way to hook up my BMV 712 and MPPT 150/85 to the GX controller while running the least amount of wires.

Hi, sorry: but you’ll need two VE.Direct cables. one for each.
