About this app

Boardstrom turns your Android phone or tablet into a live dashboard for your Victron Energy system.

Open the app and instantly see state of charge, solar input, battery power, and consumption — read directly from your Victron devices over Bluetooth. No cables, no account, no cloud. Just the numbers that matter, the moment you check your van, boat, or cabin.

WHAT YOU GET FOR FREE
• Live dashboard for one Victron device
• Real-time state of charge, solar, battery, and load power
• 1-hour history chart
• Works fully offline — everything stays on your device

BOARDSTROM PRO (optional one-time purchase)
• Read every Victron device on your system at once
• Full chart history — 12-hour, 24-hour, and 7-day ranges
• History that persists across app restarts
• Multiple system groups — keep separate setups (van, boat, cabin) apart
• Future Pro features included at no extra cost

SUPPORTED DEVICES
Boardstrom works with Victron devices that broadcast Instant Readout over Bluetooth, including SmartShunt and BMV battery monitors, SmartSolar MPPT charge controllers, Orion XS DC-DC chargers, Phoenix inverters, and MultiPlus / Quattro inverter-chargers.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Boardstrom reads your devices' Bluetooth advertisements locally on your device. Your energy data is never sent anywhere — there are no servers, and no account to create.

Boardstrom is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, authorized, or endorsed by Victron Energy B.V. "Victron" and related product names are trademarks of their respective owner and are used here only to describe device compatibility.

What’s new

Boost mode for the Boardstrom tank sensor: tap Boost on the sensor's page and it switches to 5-second updates for 10 minutes. Made for watching a tank fill or dialing in the calibration.

Also since the last store version: night dimming schedule, CSV data export, distinct sensor colors, battery indicators on sensor tiles, faster system switching, and many fixes.

Under the hood: this version lays the groundwork for local alarms in a coming update.
