No Networking Option Available with BlueSolar MPPT 100/30 V1.30

I have a BlueSolar MPPT 100/30 V1.30 with the dongle and it works fine I just bought the Smart Battery Sense and got it networked. Now when I try to add the MPPT to the same network, I don't see the option to add it to the network under settings. I played the video on the Smart Battery Sense and I don't see all of the options it shows. Is there a firmware update I need? Is it the V1.47 I read about in your docs?

@dagr47, please check that the part number (PN) of your bluetooth dongle ends in 1; if it ends in 0, the dongle is not compatible with VE.Smart Networking.

You should fully update your MPPT to the latest available firmware regardless, however. The latest FW available will be 1.46, and you should see this pop up as a required update when you connect to your MPPT through VictronConnect and open the settings; if it does not show as a required update, however, you can always open "Settings">"Product Info">"Update Firmware".

@Justin Cook - The dongle PN does end in 0 so that explains that. I tried updating the MPPT but nothing shows when I go to the Firmware Library page. Just a blank page. Do you know why? Is my MPPT also outdated?

@dagr47, what version of VictronConnect are you using? You should be on Version 5.16; if you're not, update VictronConnect first and then VC will automatically provide the latest firmware available for your MPPT.

Thanks, Justin. You've been a big help. I got Victron Connect, MPPT and Smart Battery Sense updated. Now I need to buy the updated dongle.

BTW - Do you know what the hysteresis is with the low temp cutoff in the Smart Battery Sense?
