Victron Energy VE.Bus Smart Dongle (Bluetooth) – Monitor, Control & Sense Voltage/Temperature

Overview

The Victron Energy VE.Bus Smart Dongle blends two practical capabilities into a single compact module. It functions as a Bluetooth accessory for the VE.Bus ecosystem and as a voltage and temperature sensing device for your Victron inverter/charger. The result is a flexible, space-saving companion that complements a wide range of Victron products.

Two products in one

In essence, this dongle provides two core features in one small package. First, it acts as a Bluetooth link to your VictronConnect app, letting you monitor system status and performance while on the move. Second, it serves as a voltage and temperature sensor that feeds precise data to your installation, helping you keep an eye on operating conditions.

• Bluetooth accessory for the Victron Energy range of inverter/charger units
• Voltage and temperature sensing for compatible VE.Bus devices

Monitor and control with VictronConnect

With the dongle installed, you can open the VictronConnect app to view live readings, adjust the input current limit, and switch between Off, On, and Charger-only modes. The interface is designed for quick checks and targeted changes from a smartphone or tablet.

• View live data in VictronConnect
• Change input current limit on the fly
• Switch between Off, On, or Charger-only modes

Voltage and temperature sensing

The device also acts as a dedicated sensor, providing accurate voltage readings and thermal information for your VE.Bus inverter/charger. This helps you track electrical characteristics and respond to changes as needed.

• Voltage sensing for real-time insight
• Temperature sensing to monitor thermal conditions

Real-world uses

Ideal for mobile setups where a full Color Control GX or Venus GX may feel excessive, the VE.Bus Smart Dongle offers a compact alternative for caravans, smaller yachts, and motor homes. It pairs mobility with essential visibility into how your system is performing.

• Caravans and motor homes benefit from portable monitoring
• Smaller yachts can monitor critical parameters without bulky panels

Compatibility and installation

Works with Victron inverter/chargers that feature a VE.Bus port, including Multis, MultiPluses, MultiPlus-II, MultiGrid, MultiGrid-II, Quattro, and Phoenix Inverters. Simple Bluetooth pairing and the VictronConnect app guide setup.
