I recorded a Screen video to demostrate what happens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OX9RYDU59Ns

1x 24v Charger: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B08ZN5ZPMK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 1x 24v Charger https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B099X1RQCV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

Im using a ESP32 connected with two Devices 1x SmartShunt and 1x SmartSolar 150/45.

i got really strange logs and the voltage and soc data drops to NaN when i turn my two 2x 24v battery charger on... when only 1x 24v charger is on the values are not beeing updated....very strange i got a ErroCode 2 from the SmartShunt i dont know what that means...

can you please help me? in Victron Connect everything shows right and no problems or can you at least explain me what that logs mean?

Hi, according to your description it is not possible to determine what kind of connection you have, can you draw a wiring diagram and attach it? How / what do you feed the ESP32?

what is the power source for ESP32?

if the esp32 is powered by a battery pack that is connected to the mppt, disconnect all gnds for the ve.direct ports (gnd between esp and mppt and smartshut and esp) because gnd is connected via the power supply. if you try to operate the esp32 power supply through the ve.direct port, it will not work and there is a risk of destroying the port!

leave only one gnd connected, it doesn't matter which if smartshunt and mppt work on the same battery pack

KinDR007 avatar Nov 22 '23 21:11 KinDR007

yes same battery pack.... il disconnected the smartshunt gnd and same problem.. I also had the problem with just the mppt connected

jrnas avatar Nov 22 '23 21:11 jrnas

try powering the esp32 from some galvanically isolated source, for example an external lipo /liion battery (18650, etc.)

KinDR007 avatar Nov 22 '23 21:11 KinDR007

il tried a powerbank still same problem but it seems better then before but still loosing values and the logs are flooded by the messages above

[08:56:49][D][victron:1024]: Unhandled property: \xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xdf\xff\xff\xff\xf7\xff\xff\xef\xff\xff\xff..... and many [09:10:07][W][victron:093]: Last transmission too long ago

if only one 24v charger is turned on it works but if i turn both 24v on the data is loosing after 1 minute.... like in the video above

oh and - filter_out: nan is not working.... really strange
