Orion XS 12V/12V-50A Bluetooth Advertising Data

I’ve been reading https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/187303/victron-bluetooth-advertising-protocol.html and have got my C++ code decoding information from my smartlithium batteries.

I’m trying to recognize my Orion XS DC/DC charger and it appears to have a record type of 0x0f which is not in the pdf listed in that same thread. (https://community.victronenergy.com/storage/attachments/48745-extra-manufacturer-data-2022-12-14.pdf)

Is there an updated document listing structures of newer devices?

Here is the layout for the Orion XS:

@thiemovanengelen Thanks for sending that. Is there a link to where that data is published? (Is it on GitHub somewhere?)

Are the items in the Remark column described somewhere?

Am I correct that 0x0F in the manufacturer data byte 4 tells me to interpret the extended data using this bit packing?

I recreated it in Markdown for my own documentation and because it’s easier to copy/paste.

I don’t think we’ll ever get a complete list from Victron.
Part of them are found here: Victron registers
Still, for a somehow complete list, if you get a little creative, you can get them from inside the VictronConnect application. :wink:

Perhaps this will change in the future, but for now, this is not published anywhere.

Some can be found in other documentation. As this is taken from our internal documentation, it is more meant for our own use.

That is correct.

I thought that I’d share that I’m now recognizing and graphing the Orion XS in my C++ Code

Thank you for sharing. :+1:
From my experiences few came back to post their results for all to see and learn…
