Current development catalogue

Installed store versions may include fewer readers. Check Supported devices in your app before buying equipment or relying on a connection. Last checked 15 October 2026. Registry 2026-10-15.4, with a review of current native readers. The newer iPhone broadcast reader and Phoenix connection are implemented in development builds and shown as Experimental while physical checks remain.

Hardware tested

Checked against the manufacturer’s app on a specific physical device.

Beta

Based on real captured data, with wider hardware testing still needed.

Experimental

A reader is implemented from protocol information or captures. End-to-end hardware checks remain.

Victron devices

SmartSolar and Phoenix are the two families checked on the project’s own hardware. Other readers have the evidence and platform status shown below. Instant Readout needs a supported Bluetooth model, the feature enabled and its key.

Bluetooth batteries and BMS readers

Battery brands can change their BMS between models. Match the Bluetooth protocol and exact battery revision. These readers are experimental and still need physical phone-to-battery verification.

Other solar controllers

Additional controller readers are in development. Adapter hardware and the Bluetooth transport need checking on the exact model.

Keep a small bridge
with your system.

An ESP32-based M5Stack can keep reading compatible equipment while your phone is away.

The Solar Outlook bridge reads supported Victron Bluetooth broadcasts and selected VE.Direct Bluetooth dongles. It keeps a local log and can upload over Wi-Fi to a linked system, ready to view in the app or on this website.

Firmware builds cover Core Basic, Core2, CoreS3, Dial, Atom Lite and AtomS3 Lite, with exact choices on the installer. Board controls, pairing and longer runs still need testing across models. This remains beta firmware.

Set up an ESP32 bridge ↗

Phone or bridge, one account

Link an email in Your account in the updated app.
Enable online readings for your system and opt in to phone uploads, or claim your bridge using its code.
Sign in to the website dashboard with the same email to explore uploaded readings.

Phones currently upload while the app is open. A Wi-Fi bridge can upload independently. Detailed history is available to eligible subscribers, including the current Pro preview. Daily summaries currently come from phone history.

Battery type is a separate choice

Flooded lead-acid, AGM, gel and LiFePO4 have battery-care profiles. The Trojan T-105 profile adds model-specific guidance. Selecting a chemistry describes your setup; a compatible shunt or BMS supplies measured charge. Voltage-based lead-acid guides remain approximate, and lithium voltage is never converted to a charge percentage.

Help us check your device.

In a development build, the device page can send a reading check after you compare it with the manufacturer’s app. Tell us the exact model and which readings match. Contact Simon if your equipment is missing.
