Once connected, it draws power from the bus and broadcasts data over Bluetooth to the VictronConnect app. No additional wiring, power supply, or configuration hardware is required for basic monitoring and control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor installations where a full GX device such as a Cerbo GX is not fitted, the dongle provides a practical way to check system status, adjust operating mode, and push firmware updates from a phone or tablet. This is particularly useful during commissioning, service visits, or in smaller off-grid systems where a permanent monitoring screen is not justified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is worth noting that the dongle does not replace a GX device for full data logging, MQTT, VRM portal integration, or multi-device system monitoring. Its scope is single-device Bluetooth access. For systems requiring remote monitoring over the internet or integration with other Victron components, a GX device remains necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: ASS030537010\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076035558\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.08 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnection: VE.Bus (RJ45)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCommunication: Bluetooth (VictronConnect app, iOS and Android)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePower supply: Powered via VE.Bus port (no external supply required)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCommissioning and fault-finding on Multiplus and Quattro inverter\/chargers without a GX device on site.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMonitoring and mode switching in small off-grid cabins, boats, and vehicles where a full display panel is not installed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFirmware updates to VE.Bus devices in the field using a smartphone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTemporary Bluetooth access during service visits to systems that do not have a permanent monitoring solution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRetrofit monitoring for existing Victron VE.Bus installations where adding a GX device is not practical or cost-effective.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 x VE.Bus Smart Dongle (ASS030537010)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dongle connects to the VE.Bus RJ45 port on the inverter or inverter\/charger. Ensure the connected device is powered before pairing via VictronConnect. Although the physical connection is straightforward, any work on inverter or battery systems should be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited installer. For grid-connected systems, ensure the installation complies with G98 or G99 requirements as applicable. Do not connect the dongle to non-VE.Bus RJ45 ports, as these carry different signals and may cause damage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59855268184398,"sku":"ASS030537010","price":75.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_ASS030537010_-_VE.Bus_Smart_dongle.webp?v=1781091946","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-vebus-smart-dongle","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
