VRM+BMV712 - No Batt Temp

I have recently hooked up my BMV712/MPPT Solar to VRM portal via VenusOS - its really great and loving it so far.

I have battery temp being fed into the network by Smart Battery temp sensors. And this works as I can see Batt Temp on the solar? (or was it the BMV?)

Anyway - I was wondering if I am doing something wrong as despite the battery temp being on the network, it is not passed through to VRM.

Thanks

Al

Just confirmed - yes its the smart solar that gets the temp. It doesn't seem to pass the temp on to the BMV for some reason.

Hi @bigal

That is correct, it's only transmitted to the MPPT's

But I think that since recently, it should also be visible on VRM:

  • Added a battery temperature graph widget for solar chargers

  • Added battery temperature to the solar charger summary widget

The starter battery voltage is also not working on VRM. Seems like it should be an easy fix.
