I am stating the obvious here so sorry,

but you have connected the BMV to the venus using a ve direct cable

or try conecting to the bmv and upgrade its software using a bluetooth dongle, if its a BMV 712 then one is inbuilt

The BMV and the MPPT solar charger are connected with VE direct cables. Thanks for the suggestion on updating the BMV firmware.
