SolarSense 750 v1.01, Cerbo GX v3.73, dbus-ble-sensors v0.29
BLE connection drops every ~6h, no auto-reconnect.
Opening Remote Console immediately restores connection.
Distance: 3m, one wall between sensor and Cerbo. power-level=6,
Connected stays 1 while Irradiance value is frozen — process hangs silently, no self-recovery. Not a BLE disconnection?
Apologies for not being able to help you with your issue, I just got my Solar Sense 750 today. But could you tell me how you got your Cerbo GX to see the SolarSense? Mine can’t see it for some reason, but it sees several other bluetooth sensors I have. I’m running firmware 3.51 though. I can’t find any documentation on whether there is a minimum firmware version for the Cerbo to see this device or not.
Hi @fdmarder
Where/how do read the irradiance that it seems stuck (as it is apparently not via the remote console)?
And the values of all other devices still seem to change?
With kind regards,

I can’t find any documentation on whether there is a minimum firmware version for the Cerbo to see this device or not.
IIRC we’ve added that in 3.60. Support for the SolarSense certainly wasn’t in the 3.5x releases.
Hi, thx for your rsponse.
I read the 750-values with MQTT for example :N/c0619ab4xxxx/meteo/20/Irradiance … .
The first two days is stuck often, but now since saturday afternoon, they show the value at regular intervalls.
In the beginning when its stuck , I open the remote-consol and the values flowed again.
-The next step : change the position to the roof , nearly 12m away from the Cerbo.

Not sure if it explains it all, but for mqtt data to be updating frequently, you will need to send a keep-alive message reguarly. Opening the console will trigger that too, as is opening the site in VRM.
