Venus OS, Raspberry Pi and VE.Smart Networking together

Hi!

I would like to connect my Smartshunt and MPPT 100/30 to the Raspberry Pi. Can this be accomplished with the use of VE.Smart Networking ? Or is VE. Direct USB cable the only option?


Regards

Kurt Inge

Bluetooth is not an option for connecting devices to Venus, you need to use cables, specifically USB - VE.Direct cables for Raspberry Pi instances.

Too bad as it goes both money and extra work with cable wiring.
