i wont to connect smart battery sense to a blue solar 100/50 mppt via a ve direct bluetooth smart dongle. not just for monitoring but to temperature compensate the charge controller, will this work? do i need to set up ve smart network? will this be possible using these items? thanks
Hi @Robin,
Yes, that should be fine. You will need to setup the VE.Smart network.
There are some limitations with older hardware - they are listed here: https://www.victronenergy.com/live/victronconnect:ve-smart-networking
cheers Guy. did read ve smart networking but dosent give any info concerning weather a blue solar mppt will be able to set up a ve smart network using the smart dongle, or if it will just display the information for monitoring purposes. it does say that it will add ve networking to a smartsolar mppt if it dosent already have this function. so i will risk it and see what happens.
Do you have a BT dongle connected to the BlueSolar, and is it visible on your phone?
If it is visible, jump over to the SBS and "create" a network.
Then jump over to the BlueSolar and "join" the SBS network.
