BMV-712 Smart not shown in Cerbo GX

Hello community,


I have installed a Cerbo GX and connected a BMV-712 Smart.

Unfortunately, the BMV-712 Smart is not displayed in the device list.

So I cannot add it.


However, something like this is shown in the description for the Cerbo GX.

See attachment...


Can anyone possibly help?


Many thanks in advance

Jens

Have you used a VE direct to VE direct cable or possibly the VE direct to USB to connect the BMV to the Cerbo?

I have currently the same issue.
BMV 712 is not shown in the Cerbo. And is connected with a VE.Direct cable.
Tried also different ports at the Cerbo.
I've tested the connection some weeks ago and it worked without any issue.The cable ws not connected until now. And I've installed also software 3.22 at the Cerbo.
Now the BMV is not shown any more.

Same problem. I have updated BMV and Cerbo GX to the newest versions. Still does not show although the Victron Connect Bluetooth interface shows the BMV 712 on the list

Is it connected with a VE Direct cable between the BMV and the Cerbo, Bluetooth networking does not work in this case.

the BMV 712 is connected with VE Direct to the Cerbo GX but is not showing in the list of devices connected to the Cerbo GX. I just reset the BMV and reboot the Cerbo with no results. The BMV works OK from the front display and the Bluetooth-connected smartphone.
