Detailed description

Dizajniran za proširenje povezanosti uređaja Victron Energy koji nemaju ugrađeni Bluetooth, VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle omogućuje bežičnu interakciju putem aplikacije VictronConnect. Ovaj adapter pretvara sve proizvode Victron opremljene portom VE.Direct, osim uređaja GX ili GlobalLink, u uređaje dostupne s vaših terminala iOS, Android ili macOS. Omogućuje nadzor, konfiguraciju i jednostavno ažuriranje firmwarea, što je ključno za učinkovito upravljanje vašim brodskim energetskim sustavom.

Funkcije i kompatibilnost

Dongle uključuje ključne funkcije poput pristupa podacima uređaja bez pametne funkcionalnosti (stanje baterije, snaga solarnih panela) i bežične mreže VE.Smart Networking. Također omogućuje Instant Readout za brzi pregled glavnih podataka i upozorenja izravno na popisu uređaja u VictronConnectu (zahtijeva firmware 2.41 ili noviji). Ovaj uređaj kompatibilan je s širokim rasponom proizvoda Victron Energy, uključujući monitore baterija BMV 700 i 702, invertere Phoenix Inverter VE.Direct i solarne regulatore punjenja BlueSolar MPPT. Ne podržava Windows PC-e, sinkronizirano punjenje putem VE.Smart Networkinga, pohranjene trendove, opciju "Keep SOC" za podešavanje SOC baterije pri ponovnom pokretanju, niti uslugu Bluetooth GATT.

Integracija i ažuriranje

Instalacija donglea je jednostavna: spaja se na port VE.Direct kompatibilnog uređaja i napaja se iz njega. Status LED diode (plava za Bluetooth, crvena za greške) pružaju jasne indikacije o njegovom radnom stanju i potrebama za ažuriranjem. Aplikacija VictronConnect automatski upravlja ažuriranjem firmwarea donglea i često i povezanog Victronovog proizvoda tijekom prvog korištenja. Ovo rješenje predstavlja ekonomičnu i praktičnu alternativu za modernizaciju postojećih instalacija bez potrebe za zamjenom funkcionalne opreme.

What happens if a firmware update is required during the first installation?

If a firmware update is required during the first installation, the dongle's blue and red LEDs will flash rapidly in alternation. The VictronConnect app will automatically detect this requirement and initiate the firmware update once the connection is established.

How to enable the "Bluetooth Live Data Advertisement" function after installation?

If both LEDs blink slowly, this also means a VE.Direct communication problem, and the dongle will only advertise itself; the connected device will not be visible in VictronConnect.
