About

ShuntWatch Vi App – full information about your battery bank (yacht, boat, camper, house etc.) Without phone, WiFi, internet. *Launch offer: The app is available for free for a limited time. Download it and try it on your watch!* No more reaching for your phone to check VictronConnect. 'ShuntWatch Vi' is a standalone app that connects directly to your Victron battery monitor and displays charge status, voltage, current, and other data. KEY FEATURES: 1. DIRECT READING AVAILABLE ON THE WATCH – NO PHONE, WiFi, internet, GX, or VRM required The app receives Bluetooth data directly from the battery monitor (SmartShunt / BMV). 2. DISPLAYED VALUES - In the settings, you can enable any combination of displayed parameters: state of charge (%), voltage (V), current (A), power (W), used capacity (Ah), and estimated time remaining. - A colored ring surrounds the screen (green, orange, or red, depending on the charge level). In the center is a large number indicating the charge status, and below it are displayed parameters. - The "Background Color (White/Black)" setting allows you to adjust the background to your preferences or improve readability in sunlight. 3. CLEAR STATUS MESSAGES - If the monitor is not configured, is out of range, or the key does not match, the app shows the exact reason (SET KEY / BAD KEY / KEY MISMATCH / SEARCHING…). - When the Victron device reports an alarm, the background changes to red. CONFIGURATION (ONE-TIME): 1. On your phone, in the VictronConnect app, open Battery Monitor / Settings / "Instant Readout Details" (make sure the feature is enabled). 2. Copy the 32-character encryption key. 3. In the 'ShuntWatch Vi App' settings, paste the key into the "Victron encryption key" field. 4. Select the desired parameters. Done – phone and internet are no longer necessary. COMPATIBLE VICTRON DEVICES: Victron devices transmitting in Battery Monitor mode, SmartShunt series, BMV-712, and BMV-702 Smart. Other types (solar controllers, inverters) are not currently supported. WHY 'ShuntWatch Vi App' INSTEAD OF VICTRON VRM? VRM requires a GX device, internet connection, phone, and an active account. ShuntWatch Vi works 100% off-grid and directly on your wrist. EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS: • Sailing: Instantly check your energy balance during extended autopilot sailing. • Vanlife / Caravanning: Quickly view your battery status while parked without searching for your phone. • Electric / Trolling Boats: Easily monitor power consumption and remaining time. • Off-Grid Installations / Plots: A single glance at your watch is all it takes to check your solar panel charging.
