-All new SmartSolar MPPT's support VE.Smart Networking. However some older versions of our hardware do **not** support VE.Smart Networking. A list of the older //incompatible// products and part-numbers - together with the part numbers of their compatible successors is as follows :
+=== First production batches of SmartSolar MPPTs do not support VE.Smart Networking ===
+All currently shipping SmartSolar MPPTs support VE.Smart Networking. However some older versions of those models do **not** support VE.Smart Networking. Those devices will also not become compatible later with a firmware update: the incompatibility is due to a hardware limitation in those devices. There is a work around: connect a [[https://www.victronenergy.com/accessories/ve-direct-bluetooth-smart-dongle|VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle]]. This **enables** VE.Smart Networking support. Both Voltage and Temperature sense will work. In such scenario the internal Bluetooth interface of the SmartSolar should not be used anymore as communication errors may occur - instead the VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle is to be used when connecting by phone or tablet.
