SmartShunt 500A/50mV

Hey,

Since August 20, the new Victron SmartShunt 500A / 50mA built into my caravan to gain more insight into my 12V circuit.

The first thing that strikes me is the bluetooth signal is quite weak, especially compared to the already built PeakPowerPack 40Ah with bluetooth dongle and a Bleu Smart charger 12/5

The Victron app also displays a voltage of -0.01V in the starter battery field while no starter battery is present.

Are these software errors in the app?

There are more posts here regarding the weak signal of the Bluetooth... I can get 4 to 5 times farther with way cheaper devices
I think we will need to live with it and hope they can increase the Bluetooth power with a firmware update...


Same for the app, weak and lacking...
I leave the auxiliary port set as temperature so it won't display anything...
