I can’t figure this one out. I have two smart shunts which show up on bluetooth and work fine but will not show up on Cebro as a devices. I also have a solar controller and it shows up fine both on bluetooth and on Cebro I have them plugged into the bus and it worked a few months ago so something changed. Any ideas? I’ve checked the connections and I’m running the latest cebro firmware.

Thanks

Please post some photos of the installation.

You mentioned they are connected fine, the SmartShunts must be connected with VE.direct cables. The Cerbo GX cannot connect to the shunts via Bluetooth.

Yes I know. I can connect to the shunts on bluetooth so I see they are working. I have VE direct cables connected to the Cebro GX. This set up worked a few months ago without an issue but now neither of the shunts show up as devices on the Cebro GX. I can’t believe both cables failed but I’m wondering is there something I missed in the set up.

Maybe you have bt _Networking_ enabled? If so, disable it.

How does networking interfere with the Cebro GX showing the shunts as devices? I believe I do have them networked together. I’ll disconnect the networking today see if it effects it.

I disconnected every thing from VE networking and no change. Anymore ideas??
