VictronConnect Windows Bluetooth. Again

Q&A and troubleshooting

Hi,

I have read all the story HERE.
But still have a question.
May be I’m missing something.

I have a few Blue Smart IP22 Chargers.
There is a big Windows button on the product page.
The manual says:

  1. Download and install the VictronConnect app onto the mobile phone or tablet.
    The VictronConnect app can be downloaded from the following locations:
    i. Android - Google Play Store
    ii. iOS/Mac - Apple App Store
    iii. Windows and other - Victron Energy website > Downloads > Software

Is there actually any way to get data from Blue Smart IP22 Chargers on Windows (any special dongles)?
Is there any way to sync Blue Smart IP22 Charger with VRM portal?

Thank you.

Bluetooth communication does not work when using VictronConnect on Windows. And since the BlueSmart IP22 chargers have no VE.Direct/Bus/Can, theres no official way of connecting them to VictronConnect running on windows.

However, you could use an ESP32/8266 running ESPHome with this

In order to get the chargers information into some HomeAutomation system. Still not into VictronConnect, but at least visible on Windows
