+===== 2. VRM Portal (https://vrm.victronenergy.com/) =====
+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.

-===== 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.
-===== Other Victron related open source projects =====
 Many, many people all over the world are writing code to integrate Victron products and protocols into their systems. Below a list of public projects, aiming to help each other.
