The Victron VE.Bus Smart Dongle is the easiest way to add Bluetooth monitoring to a MultiPlus or Quattro inverter/charger — plug it into the VE.Bus port and you can now configure, monitor, and update firmware on your inverter/charger directly from your phone via VictronConnect. No Cerbo GX required.

What you can do with it

  • Configure the inverter/charger — set charge profiles, AC input limits, PowerControl settings, battery chemistry presets
  • Monitor in real time — AC input/output, battery voltage, charging current
  • Update firmware — over-the-air firmware updates
  • VE.Smart Network integration — connect with SmartShunt for accurate battery state-of-charge data
  • Temperature data — built-in temperature sensor measures battery temperature
  • Battery voltage measurement — separate voltage sense for accurate readings
