Works great on my Samsung tab and moto 5 phone ,but what has happened to the clear history for the BMV 700, can we get that back please

Keith Keith

Could not connect at first then on the advice of the developer I switched on location services and viola! Thank you Victron :)

Works well with both my 75/15 Charge controller and 12/375 Inverter. No connections problems as others have mentioned (Im using a samsung s7) connects to both BT dongles without hassle. Bluetooth supports use up to 20m in (relatively) open space.. It's nice being able to monitor from the comfort of inside my home :) One small suggestion though.. It would be nice to see the current AC Watt usage the inverter is putting out on the app. I did see previews of this before my purchase so I was a bit dissapointed when I opened the app and it wasn't displayed. It would be a really nice future update :) (pleeeeeease). Thanks for putting out A+ Products Victron!! Keep up the excellent work!

Working fine but somewhat limited functionality. Release notes of embedded firmware updates are nowhere to be found, even though these are essential to find out what has changed.

Awesome app no problems using Samsung and Android. Tytech.co.za

Hello Keith, There are not changes in this version than could affect to the connection. Try to reinstall the application and then make sure you allow VictronConnect to access location services in order to be able to find nearby bluetooth products. Also make sure that the location services is switched on in your phone settings.

Has been a complete and utter nightmare. It only seems to work the day or two after an update is installed. Every day reinstalling, restarting, re-pairing multiple times. Not a range or metal shielding issue. Installed in a small, one room wooden boat. Lets see if they've cracked it this time. - will report back in a week. -update: As usual does not work after a few days operation. Unreliable. Avoid.

Sue Ferguson May 17, 2017

I am sick of this app! When you most want it to work it won't connect. Wish we had selected some other way of monitoring our caravan solar! Especially bad after firmware updates!!!!!

Victron Energy BV May 18, 2017

Hello Sue, There are no open issues for the phone model that you are using to write this comment so it should work without problems. Keep in mind that working range is reduced if there are walls or metallic structures between the phone and the dongle. If you don't think that this is the problem send us a message to support@victron.zendesk.com.

Jeff Pyke May 10, 2017

Wish that the BMV 702 had more detailed history stats, such as there are by day on the MPPT controller history page. It is currently lacking in that it only shows historical minimums and maximums and cumulative.

South Molton Photos April 25, 2017

The app is now working correctly thanks for fixing it. Fantastic application a must for any camper van off grid. The Victron products fitted to my van, split charge device and mppt devices have been first class.

Victron Energy BV April 25, 2017

Hello, This issue has been fixed in v2.7 that is now available, update to get it working again. Regards,

April 20, 2017

Works with OTG but won't connect via Bluetooth.Tried 000000 but same old story. Using Lenovo tab running Android 4.4.2 and Bluetooth v4.0 !

Nkem Nwaosu April 4, 2017

Got the dongle but won't connect with m phone kept saying incorrect pin though i used 000000 still says incorrect pin. It eventually did connect on its own. I was able to use the app to update the dongle and the 2 now connect easily. Still the app refreshes too much. Doesn't seem to support android multitask. Maybe it's by design to save battery

camo b April 1, 2017

Had some firmware update failures but it got there in the end. Love the app...make me want to buy more victron equiptment

Dea Willför March 24, 2017

Great app. Latest FW update failed some times but finally got it to work.

Victron Energy BV March 24, 2017

Hello Dea, Retry it a few times and in case of no success send us an email at support@victron.zendesk.com

Karl XZY August 28, 2017

Works well on my Galaxy S5. Nice to be able to access the info and setting. Victron please note that it would be great to integrate the Bluetooth into all you devices rather than force customers to buy separate Bluetooth dongles for many of your devices.

February 18, 2017

This app will not connect to our Phone ZTE Blade Q lux. Blue tooth and location are both enabled. Can you please explain? TIA

Matt Chipman March 25, 2017

Great app, can read all the good info from the solar panels, works great.

December 9, 2016

GPS Location? Why does the app need GPS Location! The last update December 2016 requires access to location. To use Bluetooth one has to be within 3 to 5 metres of the appliance. As a user I'd like to think I know where I am. Does Victron really need to know where I am when I monitor my battery caharger!

Victron Energy BV December 9, 2016

Dear user, We are sorry about this. Since we updated to the Android 6 permission system to fix some issues, requesting the coarse device location is mandatory, otherwise we can't scan bluetooth low energy devices. Too technical but you can check it here(or google it): goo.gl/YGHqwU You can be sure that Victron is not tracking your location.

January 7, 2017

Nice app! Only with the last update it won't work with phones where cyanogenmod is installed, have to use another phone now...

Victron Energy BV January 10, 2017

Hello, Make sure that access to the device location is granted for VictronConnect and location (or GPS) is enabled globally on the phone.

Oli Fletcher October 31, 2016

Mppt100/30 Brilliant app for a brilliant product. I would like it if there was an ability to download data in a compatible format (maybe excel or similar) for historic panel data.mit would also be great if the app supported traveling and didn't update er ask for firmware updates while away from home and in another country.

Damien Beeby October 31, 2016

MPPT 75/15 Good app for a great product. So handy for monitoring solar input into the batteries on my 4wd, especially when I go camping and fishing.

al barnabas November 2, 2016

mppt 100/50 Nice application.it would be awesome to include info about the batteries efficiency.

Joseph Acapuyan September 27, 2016

BMV702 Very handy app that goes with the BMV702. Hopefully Victron makes changes on the app readings to show 0.1 increments on the State of Charge, Consumed AmpHours and Temperature measurement. I hope future update on the BMV app will show the Power measurement just like in the meter itself.

Alex Wolf September 7, 2016

Much better firmware 1.19! We have multiple BlueSolar MPPT charge controllers. The new features selection is much easier to understand and to configure. No weird selection anymore, straight forward and very easy to understand. I'm really happy! We would love to see the load output ON time in the history section. This would help troubleshoot solar lighting systems.

Manuel Caldis September 29, 2016

Works well No issue with BMV700 and MPPT 150/45

Gareth George May 26, 2016

Simple... JUST WORKS! Got my VE Direct to usb cable yesterday and approached my system ready for a fight to get it to work but NO! Worked first time on both my charge controller and battery monitor. Recognised product straight away. Informed me of firmware update. Installed in seconds. I'm going to tri and see if this works as well through a USB hub to my tablet. The app is good in landscape and portrait. Well done VE. Would like a longer history as it's only showing 3 days but this may be me. Will see what happens in a few days. This was on my Nexus 5x and my Samsung Galaxy View. Live on a boat and the simple set out of the info is great for an enthusiastic amateur like me.

Peter Buckle June 2, 2016

MPPT 100/15 Easy to set up. Works as described via Bluetooth dongle on Samsung galaxy s 5 and galaxy tab s 10.5. Like the regulator, it's a good bit of kit. Well done.

Jenn Grover May 1, 2016

Love it! Great job, Victron! I love being able to monitor my battery bank from my phone and also update my firmware for my solar controller via Bluetooth. This is great for an RVer.

Victron Energy BV May 24, 2016

thanks! Matthijs

Chris Scott May 9, 2016

Victron energy BV I tried this app unsuccessful on my android phone (Telstra Max).Hope there is a fix for what could be a good app.

Victron Energy BV May 24, 2016

Hi Chris, this is quite a difficult thing to fix. Telstra being an Australian provider, that phone is Australia only. Even if we'd had our hands on such a phone here in the Netherlands it is not quite sure that we'll be able to fix it. Probably needs a fix in the Android version used by Telstra. Best, Matthijs

Reto Spinazzè April 17, 2016

Good but... I'm happy with the app as it allows me to check the sun harvest and the charging state of my battery bank. However, it would be great to be able to save the history data onto my phone and probably even be able to export it as csv file.

Victron Energy BV May 24, 2016

Hi Reto, yes we will add such function (saving 30 day history to csv file) to VictronConnect. best regards, Matthijs

steve white March 8, 2016

Thanks for the app Still trying to get virtual here client working on my nexus7 so l can access the battery meter by wireless

Adriaan van der Hek August 24, 2017

I like the basic features but two essential features are missing. 1) The app does not show Watt usage. The bmv display does show this, why leave it out of the app? 2) the app does not trend W or A usage in a graph. Not even for the times you check manually.

Mantas S. June 24, 2017

After firmware update no chance to connect. It seems like Bluetooth dongle update has bricked it??! Vicron now what to do?

Victron Energy BV June 25, 2017

Hello Mantas, A failure during the firmware update won't brick your device. Try to unplug/plug the dongle and try to reconnect and if this doesn't solve the issue send us a message to: support@victron.zendesk.com

rebecca daniels January 19, 2017

Cant connect with android 6.0.1 & one plus one. Phone pairs ok to be direct with 000000 as pin. Location granted when app installs.

Victron Energy BV January 19, 2017

Hello Rebecca, Do you see the devices on the VictronConnect main screen? If not, make sure that location services are also enabled on the phone settings not only in VictronConnect. OnePlus One runs Cyanogen Android, one of our customers that uses Cyanogen reported that all worked after enabling the phone's Location and/or GPS.

Adam Griffith August 20, 2016
