Monitoring

Now that I am getting all the pieces together, I am starting to look at how much monitoring I need…
At the moment I have a Multiplus II and a VE.BUS Smart Dongle to allow me to monitor through VictronConnect.
New pieces of equipment will include:

  • Smart MPPT
  • Smart DC-DC Charger
  • Smart Shunt
    I presume all are accessible through VictronConnect.
    Do all of them have to be “Smart” or is their significant overlap in the data collected and displayed? And, do they need to be run through the Dongle for stable Bluetooth coverage?

The SMART means they have Bluetooth and yes, all communicate via VictronConnect. They will all tell you the battery voltage, but then they all show important info about how each device works, and programming is more flexible. Recommend having all devices Smart. You can set them all up.on a Bluetooth network (VE Smart Network) and they will share info.
