| The dongle can be used in systems with or without a [[venus-os:start|Venus-device]] - such as the CCGX. In systems //with// a [[venus-os:start|Venus-device]], the dongle will not override temperature and voltage information already being supplied by the [[venus-os:start|Venus-device]] - in this role the dongle will provide live-information via its VictronConnect interface; and it will provide no-internet firmware updates. | The dongle can be used in systems with or without a [[venus-os:start|Venus-device]] - such as the CCGX.

| When the dongle is used in systems which //do not// have a [[venus-os:start|Venus-device]], the dongle's voltage and temperature data becomes the primary source of that information, and can be used by other connected devices for voltage compensation. Thus, the VE.Bus Smart dongle can be part of a VE.Smart network ...sending voltage and temperature data to other Smart network devices. | When the dongle is used in systems which //do not// have a [[venus-os:start|Venus-device]], the dongle's voltage and temperature data becomes the primary source of that information, and can be used by other connected devices for voltage compensation. |

| The VE.Bus Smart dongle is able to sense battery temperature in two ways: The default method is the dongle's on-board temperature sensor. When the dongle is mounted directly onto the battery case (using its adhesive attachment) it will sense the battery temperature directly from the battery casing. The second method - which provides improved battery temperature sensing - is available by using an optional //battery-terminal// mounted sensor. When this sensor is connected, the default sensor is overridden and the dongle will use this method instead. | The VE.Bus Smart dongle is able to sense battery temperature in two ways: The default method is the dongle's on-board temperature sensor.
