Hi; yes, I’m aware. Its an honor to be copied and frustrating at the same time.

Discussing them in any way is far beyond what I have in mind with this Community portal; I hope you understand.

So lets just leave it at this. Any sellers you see online (and offline) can be reported via a Victron dealer or sales manager; we take action then.

Saw this ad - quite blatant.

Have you got someone here in Australia actively following up on these charlatans? Not very nice profiting off your IP and hard work.

@Margreet Leeftink (Victron Energy Staff) is probably the best placed Manager in Australia to deal with this.

Thanks for reporting it.

FYI: I just looked them up... they even talk about using a VE.direct cable to make various devices talk together.
