SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 Tr
This one is not communicating with GX on the VE.Direct.
Bluetooth is working, and the charger is operating as expected.
I checked in Bluetooth and cannot see an obvious option to turn VE.Direct on/off ????

VE.Direct not working on SmartSolar 150/70 MPPT

Settings > tx port function > normal communication.
Have you checked the VE Direct cable, swapping it out for 1 of the others?
Thanks for confirming that, yes I have
TX Port = Normal Communications and
RX Port = Remote On/Off
And have tried 2x VE.Direct Cables. Sadly Nothing.
Yup, the pins look perfect. And I have 3 others which are working perfectly.
Which GX device? You have 4 controllers? Using an usb hub and VE.direct to usb dongles? On the first generation of Cerbo, the one usb port can only be used for powering the Touch GX due to hardware limitations.
I have 4 controllers but I am only plugging in one at a time for this test.
The other 3 working, so I know this one is faulty.
I returned it under warranty. Thanks for your reply.
I'm having the same issue @andyalford . Just started yesterday.
SmartSolar MPPT 100/30. Connected via VE.Direct cables to Cerbo GX. Bluetooth is working, and the charger is functioning as intended. But it is no longer recognized by the GX.
I have swapped cables with known good cables. All of the pins are strait, with no obvious damage.
But it still will not communicate with the GX device.
I will let you know what the guys discover with my unit. It is back in their hands now, for testing under warranty.
Original wires from Victron or DIY from YT tutorials?
Also Ve.Direct to Ve.Direct connection or via USB Port?
You may wreck your interface or your USB port if you connect the Vpp wires. I have seen really bad tutorials, hence the question.
Victron VE.Direct USB cable only. Raspberry Pi and CCGX were used.
But I have sent the unit back under warranty now. Thanks for reply.
Mine are all VE.direct to VE.direct cables from victron. Have been working flawlessly for months until yesterday.
