I'm thinking about adding more solar to my campervan which will require me to replace my MPPT controller. My current controller is a Blue Sky Energy unit that has a remote monitor that also functions as a battery monitor (with external shunt). I want to move away from the combined unit as my external BMS has charge and discharge relays that I want to wire the solar controller to. In the event of an over voltage condition, it will disconnect the charge relay which will disconnect the solar controller and screen, so the current battery monitor will lose power and lose the SOC. Since I'll be purchasing two new units, I'll probably go Victron for both MPPT controller and battery monitor since their smart network can talk to the each other and I can have the relay on the BMV disconnect the charge relay in the even of an under temp condition as I'm currently using a cheap 12v thermostat from Amazon that I questions it's calibration.
However I find that it's a bit of a downgrade with the screen resolution that the BMV-712 provides. I understand that the screen is low res to be low power, but just curious if Victron has any plans to provide a high res screen any time soon? I know I can hook up to my cell phone, but it's nice to have for my wife or I to at a glance check SOC or draw.
