Try resetting the MPPT, disconnect panels and battery, wait 5 minutes then connect battery, then panels

@sexton158, the BlueSolar MPPT doesn't have bluetooth - may I assume that you have a VE.Direct Bluetooth dongle, or do you have a SmartSolar MPPT with the bluetooth module built in? If you have a bluetooth dongle, check to make sure that it is fully connected to the VE.Direct port and that it too is showing a blue LED, indicating that it is on.

Please ensure that your VictronConnect app is updated to the current version and make sure that, when you scan for devices, your location services are enabled (and make sure that when you reinstalled the app, you granted the app permission to access coarse location services). Without access to location services, the app cannot scan for nearby bluetooth devices.

Please try the above steps - including the previous suggestion for disconnecting the MPPT and reconnecting- and report back if your connection issues have been resolved or if you're still experiencing difficulties.

You are correct it is a Smart Solar, my mistake. App is updated and like i earlier stated it was working yesterday. All permissions are granted, blue tooth is on. Location access granted. MPPT was also disconnected from the panel and batteries. reconnected batteries first then panels.
