Bluetooth

[Rudski01]

As I’m coming to the end of all my jobs on the outside of the van I need to start getting my head around the electrical side of things, definitely not my strength, so a quick question if I may, the blue smart charger has a Bluetooth symbol on it, should something else be connected to it for me to Bluetooth to it?

You could try typing the product details into Google

Have you done a Bluetooth search on your phone for the charger.

First thing would be to download the Victron app to your phone / tablet. Then search for the device.
You may get asked for a passcode, that should be on the product.

Yes, nothing coming up so wasn’t sure if I needed to press anything or attach a dongle thingymejig

The blue smart charger should be found by the Victron app. It will prompt you for a PIN code. The default PIN is 000000

Thank you, I didn’t realise there was an app, downloaded so I’ll give it a try tomorrow when at the garages

Can be a bit confusing - the 'blue' is nothing to do with Bluetooth, it's the Victron brand colour. The 'smart' means it's got Bluetooth integrated inside it, so should work fine with the Victron Connect app, no extra dongle required.

Thanks, was aware about the branding and could see the B tooth symbol, just wasn’t picking anything up on my phone

Your installation has a mixture of Victron (the blue stuff), Votronic for the solar and Sterling for the B2B. The Victron components may all be Bluetooth (or not). If they are you can use the free Victron app for readings and settings.

The Votronic components use physical dip switches for the settings. I think they also have an app for readings, if the link and control screen has been fitted (I can't see either of them in the photo).

The Sterling just has dip switches for setting and I don't think they have an app or anything else, but others may know more
