Victron VE. Bus Smart Dongle

The Victron VE.Bus Smart Dongle is a dual-function connectivity device designed for professionals and installers managing advanced power systems. This compact adapter bridges Victron Energy's inverter/charger range—including Multi, MultiPlus, MultiPlus-II, MultiGrid, MultiGrid-II, Quattro units, and Phoenix Inverter series with VE.Bus architecture—to modern control networks. Whether you're monitoring a marine electrical system, RV power management setup, or off-grid installation, the Smart Dongle enables remote visibility and configuration without requiring direct physical access to equipment.

Built by Victron Energy, a leader in power conversion and battery management, the VE.Bus Smart Dongle functions as both a Bluetooth accessory and a communication gateway. Its compact form factor (3 x 2 x 5 inches, weighing only 0.2 lbs) makes installation straightforward in confined equipment bays or control cabinets. The dongle translates proprietary VE.Bus protocol into Bluetooth signals, allowing seamless integration with Victron's monitoring ecosystem and third-party systems that support standard Bluetooth connectivity. This two-in-one architecture eliminates the need for separate hardware modules, reducing complexity and cost in system deployments.

System integrators, solar installers, and marine electricians benefit most from this adapter's plug-and-play reliability across Victron's trusted inverter platform. Real-world applications range from yacht and RV power monitoring to distributed solar farms and backup power installations. The Smart Dongle's compatibility with multi-unit VE.Bus chains means a single adapter can serve as the control point for complex, multi-inverter configurations. Installation requires only a standard VE.Bus connector; no additional wiring or power supply is needed beyond the host inverter's existing infrastructure.
