VE.Smart in VRM / GX Device

Hi,

Is it possible to see the ve.smart data in VRM or in the GX device? I just bought 2 smart battery sensors to monitor remotely 2 batteries that are about 5 meters from my Cerbo and it would be great if I can check them online. As they are not part of the system, I don’t want to fit BMV or Smart Shunt, just check the voltage.

Thanks!

HI @llubi,

Sorry but no.

The VE.Smart network is not compatible with the Cerbo GX.

You can see the list of devices that are VE.Smart compatible here - https://www.victronenergy.com/media/pg/VE.Smart_Networking/en/ve-smart-product-compatibility.html

I will update the documentation to make this situation clearer.

Thank you Guy!

I will keep watching just using the bluetooth app, and waiting for if the future makes it available.

BR,

Albert

The hardware is in place, so it is technically possible that it could be enabled with a future firmware update. No plans for that at this stage though.

Hi Guy, some time has passed so I thought I'd re-open this question. I have also wondered about the possibility of connecting devices to the Cerbo GX using VE.smart. I figured it would be technically possible since I assume hardware-wise only Bluetooth is needed and it is in the Cerbo as well as in my device of interest - a BT-enabled MPPT charger. Is VE.smart support for Cerbo still off the table or is there hope of support on the roadmap / in future firmware revisions?


As a side-note, the link you have provided no longer works.

Hi Guy,

Some more time has passed. Is there any update on this? Such functionality would be highly appreciated.
