Victron VE.Bus Smart Bluetooth Dongle (MultiPlus/Quattro)

Enable Wireless Monitoring for MultiPlus and Quattro Inverters

For users wondering how to add Bluetooth to their power system, the VE.Bus Smart Dongle provides a simple, highly effective solution. This device equips compatible Victron inverter/chargers with wireless connectivity, allowing you to monitor and manage your power setup directly from your smartphone or tablet using the VictronConnect app. It is engineered to integrate seamlessly with systems equipped with a VE.Bus port, including the MultiPlus, MultiPlus-II, Quattro, Quattro-II, and Phoenix Inverters.

Comprehensive System Management via VictronConnect

Adding this dongle transforms a standard inverter into a smart, connected device. Once linked to the VictronConnect app, you gain instant visibility into system performance. You can effortlessly adjust critical parameters such as shore power input current limits, ensuring you do not overload campground or marina power supplies. The app also allows you to switch operational modes between On, Off, and Charger-only, offering precise control over your energy usage without needing to access the physical inverter.

Advanced Voltage and Temperature Sensing

Beyond basic Bluetooth communication, this device acts as a vital sensing tool to protect your battery bank and improve charging efficiency. It measures on-battery voltage and temperature, transmitting this data back to the inverter. This function is essential for compensating for voltage drops over long cable runs and adjusting charge parameters based on environmental conditions. You can utilise the onboard temperature sensor by mounting the dongle directly to the battery case, or use the included external battery-terminal mounted sensor for even more accurate thermal readings.

Ideal for Caravans, Motorhomes, and Marine Environments

In mobile power setups where space is restricted, deploying a full-scale monitoring system like a Cerbo GX or Ekrano GX might not be practical. This compact dongle serves as an excellent standalone alternative for basic system oversight. It delivers essential monitoring and control capabilities without the complexity or footprint of a larger network setup, making it highly suitable for 12V, 24V, or 48V caravan and marine applications.

Seamless Integration with GX Devices

If you choose to expand your system later, the dongle remains a valuable component. When integrated into a larger system alongside a GX device, it continues to prioritise temperature and voltage data transmission, ensuring accurate energy management across the network. If no other data sources are present, the GX device will utilise the dongle’s readings for essential voltage compensation and temperature-adjusted charging profiles.
