Blue Smart IP22 Charger / VE Network / VRM Portal

Hej Guys,

I stumbled upon the information that the Blue Smart IP22 Charger is capable of VE networking with serial number HQ2024xxxxx and later.

Pretty interesting, though. I am wondering if the charger will show up on the VRM-portal dashboard. Did anyone tried that yet?

It won’t do that (send information to the vrm) through the ve bluetooth network. They only share information over bluetooth with other Bluetooth devices in the network. A GX cannot be added to the network as it is designed to work without a gx.

It needs a direct connection to the GX Device to be displayed by the gx and vrm.

Thanks for clarifying. Too bad. :slight_smile:
So a workaround could be adding a smart shunt, configured as a DC-meter to the chargers negative output to have at least some reading on the VRM portal ?

Definitely.
