Enhancements for Victron Remote Management (VRM) and for VictronConnect now provide you with more information – even faster. Instant readout<\/i><\/b> is a front-page feature for VictronConnect.<\/p>\n

Instant readout – all essential\u00a0front-page\u00a0data on VictronConnect<\/h4>\n

The Instant readout<\/em> feature presents essential live-status information from a Bluetooth-equipped device as soon as it’s detected – you won’t even have to connect to the device!<\/p>\n

Compare the following images:<\/h4>\n

Normally, in the device list you only see the device type and Bluetooth signal strength.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For each product you will now be offered Instant data<\/em> enabling – like this:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once Instant readout is enabled you won’t even need to connect to the device to see how it’s doing!<\/p>\n

All essential information will be presented under the device name. Here’s the same out-of-the-box Lithium battery with Instant readout enabled. Notice the Headline data information:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Instant readout box is expandable (as shown above) or it can be collapsed to show only the first line of data for the device.<\/p>\n

A fully populated device list with Instant readout enabled might look like this:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can now compare groups of devices – such as batteries – at a glance. No more going in and out of devices, and trying to remember what it said!<\/p>\n

Another useful feature with this upgrade is extended Bluetooth range. Because Instant readout<\/em> is receive only – rather than a two-way communication – the range at which the Bluetooth signal can be received by your phone or laptop is extended.<\/p>\n

Alarms and Warnings<\/h4>\n

VictronConnect v.5.90 adds Alarms and Warnings to the Instant Readout function:<\/p>\n
