Smartsolar mppt synchronising over Bluetooth
Hi @goboatingnow , welcome to the Community!
A Smart Battery Sense, SmartShunt, or BMV-712 is only required should you want the chargers to take into account battery voltage, temperature, and/or current (in the case of a SmartShunt or BMV-712) and is advised but not necessary. For basic synchronized charging, you don't need any additional hardware - just create a VE.Smart Network while connected to one MPPT, then connect to the other and click "join VE.Smart Network" and select the network that you set up through the first controller, and you're done!
As noted in the manual, it is critically important to ensure that both controllers have the same battery settings.
For more information, please see the VE.Smart Networking manual.
Thank you very much
