| + | |||
| + | While in itself not being an open source project, the VRM Portal database can be queried using the [[https://vrmapi.victronenergy.com/v2/docs|VRM JSON REST API]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Also, you can interface to the GX product range using MQTT, see the [[https://github.com/victronenergy/dbus-mqtt|dbus-mqtt]] readme for more information. | ||
| - | ===== Signal K ===== | + | ===== 3. Signal K ===== |
| Signal K is a modern and open data format for marine use. Built on standard web technologies including JSON, WebSockets and HTTP, Signal K provides a method for sharing information independently of the underlying communications protocol (e.g. NMEA0183, NMEA2000, SeaTalk, I2C, 1-Wire, ZigBee, etc) in a way that is friendly to WiFi, cellphones, tablets, and the Internet. More information at [[http://signalk.org/]]. | Signal K is a modern and open data format for marine use.

| - | ===== Why is the Bluetooth API not public? ===== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Making the bluetooth API an official public one would mean that we can’t change it as simply as we can today; and also it means that we’ll get questions about it: bluetooth is not simple. Far more complicated than a serial port. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | And then only our developers will be able to answer them: taking away development resources. Hence we chose to not make the Bluetooth API public. | + | |
