Ratings and reviews

If you had the ability to put this in the background and send alerts when the battery reaches a settable low charge state, it would be utterly awesome. Yes I know you have to be within bluetooth range but that's ok. In addition being able to set/change the Bluetooth PIN is important and nobody does that -- without that ANYONE within range of a battery with this app can literally destroy it by setting BMS parameters deliberately wrong or just shutting off the FETs! ADD PIN CHANGE PLEASE!!

Works well, needs a bit more refining, but its a new app so sure its coming. When i turned off charging the app froze and I had to restart. It did stop the charging though. At first I couldnt connect, but the BT was activated from the Xioxang app which i had opened first. I restarted my phone and it connected right away. The bluetooth works from much further away than my Victron hardware, which us neat. The bluetooth power must be cranked up.

Please allow stored favorites! I have four batteries that I switch between and it is rather annoying to have to find the Bluetooth broadcast signal every time I want to switch between the same four batteries. So if there was a way to save those batteries to favorites and quickly jump between them then you will get 5 stars. Please add feature!
