VE.Bus Smart Bluetooth Temperature overrides Venus GX Temperature

Yesterday I added the VE.Bus Smart Bluetooth dongle to my Quattro and noticed that the temperature from the dongle overrides the already connected Venus GX with Temperature probe.

My setup is Quattro/Venus and BMV. I have two temperature sensors, one connected to the Quattro and one to the Venus (don't ask).

Anyway, when I plug in the VE.Bus Smart dongle it seems to override all others but the documentation doesn't state in so many words that it will or won't do that, it only talks about voltage sensing.

Can anyone explain how I can ignore the Smart Dongle's temperature sensing as the device is NOT attached to a battery case?

Edit: The following is NOT happening in this case.

As already discussed off-forum: You need to turn on DVCC, then enable STS (on by default), and then you need to explicitly select the temperature sensor you want to use.

And for everyone else's benefit, also run VenusGX firmware 2.60.
