I have a Multiplus II inverter and two MPPTs. I like having Bluetooth capability on the MPPTs, but using the dongle to monitor the Multiplus is a pain because I have to go to another building to plug into it. What’s the best way to set it up so I can monitor the system remotely?
@Todd Landfried, when you say "dongle to monitor the MultiPlus", I presume you mean the MK3 to USB Interface? If so, then I would suggest the VE.Bus Smart Dongle, which connects to one of the VE.Bus ports on the MultiPlus and provides monitoring and limited device functionality adjustment over Bluetooth. Granted, you're still limited to Bluetooth range with this option, but since you mention being happy with the SmartSolars, I presume that Bluetooth range is acceptable for you.
Thanks for your answer. This is kinda what I was thinking. Bluetooth is okay because I can connect to the MPPTs from inside the house. Where do you mount this? To the battery?
I see the capacity of the Smart Dongle is limited, but if I wanted more than that (not sure I need it), what then would be the recommended solution?
