Hopefully there is, strangely I only started to test this the week before and then got a bit stuck getting the keys. Noticed a Victron post and two updated apps. It’s good they they actively try and support this.

i tried setting this up yesterday.. still no data coming in i have the mac address and key from the instructions and the app says it is started. i am a little rusty how do i see the logs from this app to figure out where the hick-up is? i tried setting logging on but i still don't see specific info related to the app. do i add a : at the end of the mac address? could the localisation be an issue?

Hi,
No : at the end of the MAC address, it should bu just that address and the key. Just checking you have them the right way round as I made that mistake trying to sort it late at night.
Did you get the key from the app as that’s now possible?
Is Bluetooth connected to anything else?

I'm just going to add a bit here in case someone else is trying to set up their Victron as I got a bit confused with the above!!
I got all the info from the previous posts, but I was missing something, even though Boatingbaileys touched on it above.
You need to add a colon " : " after every second digit in the MAC Address, which is not in the address you get from the VictronConnect App!!
I now have everything working as it should - THANK YOU

Anyone have any issues with this and the RUUVI tag plug in co-existing? Installed it once, but found it had killed all my connections to my ruuvi sensors.
