    can you have this plugged into one port and use the other port to connect to a cerbo gx?

  • @jordancook1668

    Can’t believe it’s 100 bucks to get such basic functionality that should be built right into the unit. I’ve bought Bluetooth headphones at the airport for $14.99 but for some reason my $1400 inverter can’t manage to incorporate Bluetooth. Total scam. And with it you still can’t set the unit to work with lithium. For that you’ll need yet another “dongle” to give you a magic USB port for $70. Again, all because they decided not to incorporate a ubiquitous USB port directly into the device, another money grab. So you are buying a $1600 inverter, and that’s a ripoff by any measure. The bastards don’t even include a cable with this thing.

    Hi, i have the smart dongle and multiplus 3kva 12v 120a. Problem is the inverter shuts every 20sec off and starts again. Only compared with the dongle, without it works perfect. Any ideas?

    Can a victron smart shunt do the functions of a dongle?

    • @CurrentConnected
      @CurrentConnected  11 місяців тому +1

      No, the smart shunt is a battery monitor and the VE bus smart dongle adds Bluetooth connectivity to your inverter. Completely different purposes.

      That would depend on your specific system. You can give our technical support team a call and they can walk you through what you'll want for your specific needs!

      Unfortunately not; that must be done with the USB-MK3 dongle.
