Victron Connect Pairing Issue (Android 15)

I have more notes from doing testing which I think are weird.

  • Victron Smart Shunt
  • PC: Windows 11 USB 3 port via VE.Direct to USB cable
  • Phone: Google Pixel 7a Android 15 via Bluetooth
  • Phone (Alt): Same device but using VE.Direct to USB via USB OTG

While plugged into PC, I reset to defaults the smart shunt. The results are that the info displayed via the different connection methods is different. It’s like the bluetooth data is stuck or something.

This view is on phone with USB OTG connected. The 2 devices are the same device. I only have 1 smart shunt.

This next screen shot is the phone with just Bluetooth, no USB OTG

And here is the PC

Still cannot “bond” to the smart shunt via Bluetooth, can’t create VE Smart Network or anything advanced like that. Pretty much a uselsss $100 hardware device at the moment.

I would like to get this to work. I’ll send you any logs or data you want, just tell me what to do to get it.

Thanks
