Bluetooth Support in VenusOS 3.00b4?

Hi,


after having up on VenusOS for a while, I just installed version 3.00b4 on a Raspberry Pi 3. Does it finally support Victron Devices via Bluetooth?

If I login via SSH, I See that bluetoothctl is installed. I can also scan and see my Victron devices.

Is there a way to add Victron Devices to VenusOS? Maybe I'm just missing the right place where to add them.

Thanks...Carsten

@netsrac27 unfortunately there is no support for communicating with Victron devices over Bluetooth, only via cables connections. I suspect one day they will, but Victron will not comment on roadmap items or advise till it is here and ready for testing.

Oh, thats a pity....I was hoping that they support this in the meantime. Similar to what they do with the GlobelLink...

As far as I know it is planned for the future but not implemented now.

New features or fixes are listed here:
