Cerbo GX with a Blue Solar MPPT 150 35

I have a Cerbo GX with a Blue Solar MPPT 150 35 connected via a VE Direct cable. When I connect to the Cerbo GX using Bluetooth I can only see the Cerbo GX and cannot see the MPPT. When I connect to the VRM Portal I can see the MPPT information. Shouldn’t I be able to see this with Bluetooth also? It is installed in an RV and sometimes am in places with no internet.
