My old Victron 12/30 charger had a physical switch with ‘standby’ or ‘on’ selection. Having purchased two new Victron chargers, I was rather hoping that I’d have the option to select these to ‘standby’ or ‘on’ in the bluetooth app, but I can’t find such an option. In the winter, with batteries unu…

On-site configuration via Bluetooth and later communication via a smart network between Charger / Shunt etc. but no remote access (via normal channels) … for this you always need a GX device and then of course a mobile access / network

My bad. I meant ‘remotely’ as still within Bluetooth range of the chargers, rather than an alternative remote location. I was hoping that I could avoid accessing the boat to turn them off and do it from the dockside or carpark. Guess I’ll need to fit a separate Bluetooth controlled power socket f…

Oh, there’s no problem with range at all. For example, imagine boat in boatyard, weather is wet and cold. Can drive to boat and be well within Bluetooth range, as in 5m away from the charger, but want to avoid getting ladders out etc. The issue is that for these products, there’s no option I can …

but you certainly always have the option of setting the charging current to 0 … or not :thinking:

Nope. The minimum Max current is 3A on one and 2A on the other!

oh that’s right … and learnt something again :yum: So the topic of radio / smart socket again

It would be great to have the ability to put these chargers on standby via App if that’s technically possible. Is there a mechanism for requesting that this option could be added to the App for these chargers?
