Smart Battery Sensor breaks MPPT bluetooth connection to app

I have a RV with a BMV-712 and a SmartSolar MPPT 75/15 all connected via bluetoot to the Victrop app working great until I added the Smart Battery sensor. When I added the bluetooth sensor and apired it the att will not conntect to the MPPT any more. It appears in the app but grayued out. It seem to be a conflict with the bluetooth on both devices (MAC ID issue maybe). When I remove the power from the battery sensor the MPPT appears to work fine.


Any ideas on how to fix?

Hi,

Do you also have VE.Smart networking enabled? And if so, does it make a difference when you remove the MPPT and the Smart Battery Sense from the network?

Regards,

@joerver, the BMV-712 and the Smart BatterySense are both "sending" units; you cannot have 2 sending units on the same VE.Smart Network.

Please note Section 5 "Limitations" in the VE.Smart Networking documentation.
