i can see on dbus there are settings for mppt solar chargers like status where i can remotely turn on and off by setting this value but i couldn't find the settings for other parameters that can be set from the victronconnect app. is there any documentation or hint where to look ? an example is how can i change max charge current or absortion voltage ?
U can change ve.direct devices via victron connect with „vrm“ instead of „local“ in the app.
Hi @ers
For the settings communication between VictronConnect and the product we have the so called vreglink dbus interface. This interface is descibed here https://github.com/victronenergy/venus/wiki/dbus-api under the paragraph "The VregLink Interface".

one more question I assume vrm devices part of the victron connect app talks to vregs here too but which service/package is used for victron connect vrm control ? I used victron packages indiviually not on venus os itself therefore I can reach vrm and send data but how can I enable two way communication so that I can see vrm devices on victron connect app under vrm section ?
Hi @ers
For the communication through VRM between VictronConnect and a venus device, there are 2 services running on the venus device. The first is dbus-mqtt (https://github.com/victronenergy/dbus-mqtt) and the second is mqtt-rpc.

thank you so much, i setup the dbusmqqt and was able to see data locally over it, i even pulled the name of the remote victron mqtt server for my client from rest api and connected to that one too but still couldn't see devices in the vrm section of the victron connect app. I assume it is related to mqqt-rpc you mentioned but couldn't find a related package at : https://updates.victronenergy.com/feeds/venus/release/packages/raspbian-buster/dists/buster/main/binary-armhf/Packages . is it something available only in venus os ?
mqtt-rpc is indeed only available in Venus OS, so I cannot help you any further with that.
Kind regards,
