1. Introduction
VE.Smart Networking is a wireless communication network between Victron products. It is a wireless technology using Bluetooth Smart.
Features:
Remote Voltage reading
Temperature sensing
Current sensing
Synchronised charging
Remote voltage-, temperature and/or current sensing
Use VE.Smart to add remote voltage, temperature and/or current sensing to your Victron MPPT Solar Chargers. Connect either a BMV battery monitor, a SmartShunt, or the new Smart Battery Sense, to a Solar Charger. The Solar Charger will receive the available information from the battery , like battery voltage and temperature (depending on the sensor) information, and use that data to optimize its charge parameters. This will improve charging-efficiency and prolong battery life.
This video introduces the Smart Battery Sense:
Synchronised charging
Pairing two or more SmartSolar chargers in VE.Smart Networking, enables synchronised charging. This improves the charge efficiency and battery life.
