Got this for my van last week and honestly what a relief I’ve had a Victron MPPT charging my house battery for a couple years and a BMV – 712 to keep an eye on the SOC, but that tiny BMV screen has always been kind of a nightmare. You had to actually climb in the back, lean down, hit the button buttons in the right order, and then squint at a two line displayed to figure out what was going on. Half the time I just give up and assume things were fine. I keep an old iPad in the van anyway as a kind of dashboard for music and stuff’. So I installed in Boardstrom on it and it stuck up where I can see it from the driver seat. Now I just glanced over and see everything at once. Battery percentage, voltage, what the solar panels are actually producing right then. Normal crawling around the thing I really like is how little fuss it is. No account, no sign-up, no cloud something or other. It just picks up Bluetooth from the Victron stuff and it shows it. Set it up once and forget about it. simple, does what it says, and feel solid. If you have a Victron in your van and you’ve been suffering through that little BMV screen, just get it.
Excellent Victron dashboard app

I mainly use it with my Cerbo over WiFi, and the new inverter on/off switch is exactly what I wanted. I also like that Boardstrom works both ways: Cerbo/WiFi for bigger systems, or direct Bluetooth for smaller SmartShunt/SmartSolar setups without a Cerbo. Clean, useful, and well worth upgrading to Pro.
Boost mode for the Boardstrom tank sensor: tap Boost on the sensor's page and it switches to 5-second updates for 10 minutes. Made for watching a tank fill or dialing in the calibration. The tank tile shows a waking status, turns blue while boosting, and now also shows the sensor's measurement rate and how fresh the reading is.
Also since the last store version: night dimming schedule, CSV data export, distinct sensor colors, battery indicators on sensor tiles, faster system switching, and many fixes including dialogs that sometimes refused to scroll.
Under the hood: this version self-heals from a bad update by fetching the fix before launching, and lays the groundwork for local alarms in a coming update.
