You're checking a Victron VE.Bus inverter but can't see or adjust it without a panel. This Bluetooth dongle connects it to the VictronConnect app and adds control like mode switching, so you can monitor and change settings from your phone.
If you're tired of digging into a compartment just to see what your inverter or inverter/charger is doing, this smart dongle adds Bluetooth connectivity to compatible VE.Bus systems and puts monitoring and system control into the VictronConnect app. It's built specifically for VE.Bus inverter and inverter charger systems, so you can check status and interact with the unit through your phone instead of relying on physical access. In a caravan, smaller yacht, or motor home, that turns quick status checks into something you can do on the spot instead of opening up the install every time.
When you need to switch operation without walking over to the hardware, this dongle gives you direct control over key settings through VictronConnect. The verified control functions include operating mode changes for off, on, and charger-only, plus input current limit adjustment. That gives you a straightforward way to respond to changing power conditions from your mobile device, with the kind of quick adjustment that matters when the unit isn't mounted somewhere convenient.
Basic indicators don't tell you much when you're trying to understand how the system is actually behaving under load. This dongle adds voltage and temperature sensing capability for inverter and charger operation, giving you more than a simple on-or-off view. With that extra data in the mix, you get a clearer picture of system conditions during real use, which is a lot more useful when you're trying to spot changes before they turn into a bigger problem.
Waiting to dig through menus just to confirm system status gets old fast, especially when something doesn't look right. The dongle includes instant readout functionality for VE.Bus products, with immediate display of key inverter and charger data on the device list page, plus visual indicators for warnings, alarms, and errors. You can open the app and see the important stuff right away, which cuts down the guesswork when you're checking the system between stops or trying to confirm a fault before doing anything else.

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this Victron VE.Bus Bluetooth Smart Dongle. Now, this VE.Bus Smart Dongle is a smart add-on that's gonna give certain Victron inverter chargers Bluetooth capability. So what that means in real life is that instead of needing a hardwired display or control panel, you can monitor and control your Victron system right from your smartphone or tablet using the Victron app. And once it's plugged into the VE.Bus port, then you're going to be able to see system status, check alarms, view voltage and temperature data, and even do simple controls like turning the inverter on or off or switching it to charger only mode. This also acts as a voltage and temperature sensor, which helps the inverter charger make smarter decisions, which is gonna be especially useful in mobile, marine, or off-grid setups where conditions do change a lot.
This smart dongle works with popular Victron units like Multiplus, Multiplus 2, Quatro, Multigrid, and other VE.Bus equipped inverters. This is gonna be a really great solution for those who want easy wireless access and monitoring without a full GX device or running extra cables. Let me give you some measurements here just so you have a good idea of the size. So looking at the overall width, we're pretty close to four and a quarter inches wide. Looking at what I'm gonna call the height, about one and almost one and three quarters inches.
And the thickness, let's say about seven eighths of an inch. You're gonna get everything that you see here. So if you're looking to add Bluetooth monitoring and basic controls of your Victron inverter charger from your phone, then this dongle is gonna be an easy basically plug and play upgrade that's gonna help you do exactly that. If you happen to have any other questions, whether it's about this dongle or anything that we have here at Etrailer, don't hesitate to reach out.
