I’m a newbie
I have just fitted the above MPPT 100/30 smart controller to my van ,all working fine ,showing fully charged , bulk etc. I have downloaded the Victron connect app, But trying to connect to my android A13 phone and cannot get a connection, Bluetooth is on, location is on and it still shows no device found ,we have followed instructions on some YouTube videos , managed to follow that but still no connection. Can anyone help please .
 
Does it have built in Bluetooth? as mine needs a Bluetooth dongle to work.
 
If it is "SmartSolar" it should communicate by bluetooth directly, if it is "BlueSolar" it will need a dongle, leann53 can you not see the device on your list of in range bluetooth devices?
 
Let me start by thanking you both . Please forgive me for my ignorance (well I am 70) . OK A it,s a victron Blue solar controller so your right it doe,s need a dongle. Next question ( I haven't a clue about dongle,s do I need to purchase one of Victron?. Then what do I have to do with it to connect to my Android phone? . Your superior knowledge and advice would be most appreciated thank,s again .

You need one of these . Just download the Victron connect app from your phone and connect to it .
