does smart battery sense works with Cerbo ?

Hi,

Best Wishes to everybody for this new year.

I'm trying to connect a smart battery sensor with bluetooth to a Cerbo GX but It seems to be impossible to create a Ve.smart network with CerboGX. So how to do it ? is this sensor compatible with CerboGX ?

Thanks for your help

Bruno.

Hi Bruno,

No the emart battery sense has no communication with the cerbo. It is designed for non GX systems.

Thanks a lot for your quick answer.

Do you think it's possible to link the smart sensor to a smart device like Smart solar MPPT 150/85 via VE.smart network and then to link MPPT to CerboGX via VE.direct bus, so Cerbo gets temperature and battery voltage informations by this way ?

If you have it connected to an MPPT that uses it, the the Cerbo will use it off the MPPT...

HI,

Yes, except that smart sense is not compatible with older MPPTs.

I’m think with voltage drop beinga consideration that the sbs should get an update to allow it to pair with the gx devices just like a ruuvi tav

The Smart Battery Sens is intended as a budget-friendly solution to monitor a battery and connect it via BT/Ve Network to, for example, a Smart MPPT.

You can monitor batteries via the Cerbo GX, for example, with a Smart Shunt or BMV.
