Hi,
I have connected a switch for remote control in my campervan. Set the dipswitch 2 to off, but the inverter keeps turing on and off by itself when switched on remotely.
Anybody knows what tot do?

Sometimes it does that if the switch being used doesn’t have the right amount of contact.
Do you have anything else connected to it for control?
Is it powering up then down in a cycle? Like it is struggling to start?
I have tried 2 different switches and same result.
It starts inverting and I have 230V. after 15-20 seconds it switches off and after 15-20 sec on again and it cycles.
Also tried to switch the invert option through a relay, but same result. Aparrently it is not the switch.
Dug a little deeper and because I have a VE.Bus Smart Dongle installed, it probably conflicts with a remote switch. Because for the dongle ds 2 needs to be on and fir the switch off.
A test confirms this. So the conclusion is that you cannot run a smart dongle and a remote switch together.
A smart bms v2 will solve this issue , but adds more money to the system.
Any other suggestions?

Switch via the smart dongle in the victron app and remove the hardwire switch. That works all of the time.
