It’s getting cold around here and I’d like to add temperature monitoring on a couple of remote PV plants installations, where I already have Victron systems running as telemetry power supply backup.
Because I am currently in the process or replacing LEAD batteries with Lithium, I want to get a basic view on certain temperatures, i.e. outside_temp vs inside_temp vs battery_box_temp. I know Ruuvi sensors are compatible with Victron, however I was wondering whether there are other Bluetooth sensors also compatible or not.
Hi
Can’t say what other BT Temperature Sensor would work.
I use RuuviTag BT Temperature Sensor (about 30+ around various outbuildings) on my land, the thing I like about RuuviTag is they also measure humidity and as most of my Victron Equipment is in non-heated buildings is a good idea to keep an eye on humidity aswell as temperatures.
The only (small) issue i have come across is the battery its shipped with doesn’t last long, i have replaced most now with Panasonic batteries, apart from this i think they are a fantastic Sensor.
If you find something else i am always open to trying something new.
