Multiplus Compact configurable in Victron Connect App?

Considering to buy either a VE.Bus Smart Dongle, or the MK3/USB Adapter, to configure a Multiplus Compact 24/1600

As I don't have permanent access to a windows machine, I'd rather use the Victron Connect App.

Someone told me there might be a special login or password to access many features similar to the Victron Configure Software.


If I can adjust settings with Victron Connect, please help me out step by step what I need.

If not, what could be done with the App regarding settings of Multiplus Compact at all?



Some distributors and Victron staff tell it's possible others say nope.

Ki@Alexander Ravencraft

You would need the mk3 to usb and a windows pc to update the firmware before victron connect becomes useful.

You could ask your distributor or supplier to update the firmware for you first.

Using the blutooth dongle is really for monitoring, described on the page linked.

Thx Alexandra.

So the IOS Victron Connect App will never be the solution to adjust many settings , thus I would need the MK3/USB anyway.

Thus, I don't necessarily need the firmware update currently to use Victron Connect (on Windows), but can also use Victron Configure on windows ... (Right?)
