Good day!<\/p>\n

Today we are releasing a new version of VictronConnect<\/a>. It has quite a list of improvements as well as updated product firmware versions.<\/p>\n

The most significant change is that you can now set-up and configure parallel, three and split-phase systems, up to three units. Which makes it a lot simpler to set-up such a system; no longer requiring the -Windows only- VE Configuration tools.<\/p>\n

The next two highlights concern the VE.Bus Smart Dongle<\/a>. First of all it now (finally!) allows setting the input current limit from your phone, for systems having a VE.Bus BMS. And secondly it can be configured to be a Voltage- and Temperature-sense input for Solar Chargers; so it now no longer needs an extra Smart Battery Sense to be installed alongside it. More details about this below.<\/p>\n

The last highlight is in the main Device List page: it’s been improved by showing Bluetooth signal strength. And also the app now scans for bluetooth products continuously; making it both faster and more straightforward.<\/p>\n

Let’s get into the details!<\/p>\n

VE.Bus System Configuration: Parallel- Three- and Split-phase<\/h4>\n

Until now our\u00a0VE.Bus Quick Configure<\/em> software was required to set up a complex VE.Bus System. This is not the case anymore as VictronConnect can now be used to configure systems of up to three units.<\/p>\n

Which is a big improvement. There is no need to switch between applications – which saves time and makes it simpler. And updating the Inverter\/Charger firmware is now part of the system configuration flow, VictronConnect will suggest that automatically when configuring a new system: also better and simpler.<\/p>\n

Watch this video where we demonstrate all steps involved in configuring a three phase system in just a few clicks:<\/p>\n

VictronConnect now also allows you to change the settings of each individual MultiPlus\/Quattro in an existing system. And to copy settings from one of the inverters to the rest; as well as saving the settings of all the units to a file.<\/p>\n

Please note that Assistants, such as the PV Inverter-, ESS- and VE.Bus BMS Assistant, are still not supported by VictronConnect. And Assistants are also not included in the ‘copy and save’ settings feature. Obviously we’re working hard on a solution for that, as that is now the next big step in making things simpler when it comes configuring our inverter\/chargers.<\/p>\n
