Ratings and reviews

The app delivers basic information reasonably well. Unfortunately it won't connect to my Android 9 car head unit, which would be the neatest way to look at what the solar on the van's roof is doing. Also, the loss of the graph when looking at it (starts anew) means there really isn't a way to observe it for longer spans of time and I haven't found (miss) the ability to export the data.

Pro: the app provides basic functions for the remote management of my Smart Battery Protect device and works mostly well. Cons: * The bootstrapping splash screen shows much too often, even when shortly switching the app. Just keep the latest display and rconnect in the background I'd recommend. * Saving the config has limited value since saved settings are mostly junk after each update, which (fortunately) happens rather often. It should be possible to import or convert old files. * No history

Very useful app. I particularly like the history function. A nuisance is that it does not enable Bluetooth, although I gave permission to do so. Also a pity that the app or the controller occacionally forgets (maybe when the battery is temporarily disconnected) the selected battery type.
