Ratings and reviews

This is a great app. I use it with the Victron BMV-712 Battery Monitor. It displays a lot of great real time information about the battery in my Motorhome. I use the optional temperature monitor to keep track of the temperature in my battery compartment. The Bluetooth connection to my phone allows me to monitor the battery state while driving or just setting around the campground.

Happy with both the hardware and software. I have a 75/15 charge controller and 500a smart shunt. My only gripe would be that you have to constantly switch between the devices connected to your network. I was excited to have all of the information displayed at the same time, but unfortunately the software hasn't changed much since I purchased the charge controller years ago.

This is a seriously useful app. It manages multiple victron devices but it is very annoying that it asks you to choose which device to connect to every time you open or switch focus to the app. And this is especially the case when you only have one device to manage. Why not make it remember the last viewed device and attempt to reconnect to it? And only if that fails, then ask the user which in-range device to connect to? The level of annoyance is the reason for only four stars!
