This device contains a temperature sensor built in. It can also display the temp from the victron sensor when connected appropriately. **Q: why would I buy a victron product if I need an $80 serial cable to communicate with it?** A: You don't need an $80 serial cable, the Bluetooth device is what costs money. It uses an ethernet cable. **Q: Will this allow me to upgrade firmware in my multiplus via my phone cellular data?** A: No. To upgrade and make critical settings you must plug into you PC. I think this is done for safety reasons. **Q: Can I have this plugged in and use at the same time as the digital muilticontrol panel? Or is it one or the other?** A: I also have the Digital Multi Control 200/200A GX installed and the DMC takes over power on/off control. The Victron Connect app accessing the BT Smart Dongle still works, however with many reduced features. Mostly just the Overview screen in Victron Connect and the Details view is limited. It actually displays in Victron Connect the message "VE Bus Smart Dongle is running in secondary mode because there is a remote control panel connected to the VE bus. In secondary mode only a limited number of values are available" ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Useful connector for Inverter/charger *by M***N on 30 May 2026* Perfect for connecting my laptop to my Victron Inverter/Charger ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great *by H***D on 22 October 2025* easy to set up and install\ works as expected simple plug and play ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ fonctionne, mais... *by B***. on 18 July 2026* Focntionne, mais tres peu de reglage possible. juste des remontées d'info. ## Frequently Bought Together - Victron Energy VE.Bus Smart Dongle (Bluetooth) - Victron Energy RJ45 UTP Cable, 2.95 Feet (0.9 Meters) - Victron Energy MK3-USB-C Interface – VE.Bus to USB-C Cable for GX Device Configuration --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/258965014-victron-energy-ve-bus-smart-dongle-for-multiplus-inverter](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/258965014-victron-energy-ve-bus-smart-dongle-for-multiplus-inverter) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-31*
