Ratings and reviews

I love this product except for the wifi connection. Everytime I boot up the app it finds the BMS no problem but then just sits there saying "connecting". I have to restart the app multiple times to get it to connect with the bms. Kinda frustrating when you just want to quickly check the status but you have to restart the app over and over to get it to connect. Not sure why it does this and there are no clear cashe options.

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.

Edit: The app can now see my two BMSs and the app shows the version mentioned by the developer. However, it cannot connect to the devices and read data from them. I tried uninstalling and re-installing with the same result. I get the message "no connected BMS". I, too, am having the problem that others are experiencing. The app continuously scans for Bluetooth devices but never finds anything. Due to company permissions on my new phone, I can only use apps from the Google Play Store.
