Simply plug it into any compatible Victron device with a VE.Direct port—such as solar MPPTs, battery monitors, or inverters—and your system becomes Bluetooth‑enabled. From there, you can use the VictronConnect app to view vital stats like battery status and solar input, configure parameters, and even update firmware—all without a wired connection
Unlike typical USB or VE.Bus adapters, this dongle offers a streamlined Bluetooth solution, ideal for remote or mobile setups like boats, RVs, and off‑grid cabins. As mentioned in Victron’s documentation, it’s not compatible with GX devices or Windows PCs—but is fully supported by iOS, Android, and macOS platforms
