6.3. Connecting to VE.Smart networking
VE.Smart networking is a wireless network that allows a number of Victron products to exchange information via Bluetooth. The
battery monitor can share the following information with the network:
• Battery voltage.
• Battery current.
• Battery temperature. Note that an optional temperature sensor is needed see chapter
Auxiliary connection for temperature
A usage example is a system with VE.Smart networking that contains a battery monitor with a temperature sensor and a solar
charger. The solar charger receives the battery voltage and temperature information from the battery monitor and uses this
information to optimise its charge parameters. This will improve charging efficiency and will prolong battery life.
To make the battery monitor part of VE.Smart networking, you will have to either create a network or join an existing network. The
setting can be found in the VictronConnect app. Navigate to the battery monitor page and then to: settings > smart networking.
