Hello community,
I built my own bluetooth adapter for the Ve.direct socket on my BlueSolar 75/15 using a simple HM-10 module and a level shifter board I had.
When i connect to the module, I receive the normal status messages every other second, so the connection is working and OK.
However the VictronConnect app does not find my device. I think of these reasons:
- the bluetooth adapter needs to have a certain MAC adress in a certain range
- the bluetooth ID must look a certain way (i picked “SmartSolar 1”, as I only have 12byte for the name)
The example in the manual shows “SmarSolar HQ12345678”, seems like device and serial number. Not sure if this is just an example or if the serial no. really needs to be sent as bluetooth name.
Any advice?
Thanks!
