FW Victron - Supported devices

Once the device is initialized, the script reads its data. Each data frame contains the PID property, which is the product ID of the connected device. The device information is then retrieved from the PID mapping in the mappings.py file, this file is based on the Devices by PID tables.
Then, those info are used to initialize the DBus object with the correspondent DBus iface and description. Both, the iface and the object description are defined into the PID mapping.

TODO: rearrange source files to new firmware structure

• model: human-readable name of the exact model
• type: devices code to group similar devices from _ve_definitions.py as DEV_TYPE_*
• dbus_iface: a string defining the DBus iface
  from dbus_definitions.py as DEV_IFACE_*
• dbus_desc: a string defining the DBus object's description
  from dbus_definitions.py as DEV_DBUS_DESC_*.

Device types

Here, you can find the list of all devices types available. Any product ID from Devices by PID section is mapped into a device type using the PID table from the mappings.py file. More details on DBus definitions and their properties can be found on the Values Mapping page.

Type's Constant	Type's Name	DBus's Iface	DBus's Description
DEV_TYPE_BMV	BMV	com.victron.BMV	--
DEV_TYPE_BlueSolar_MPPT	BlueSolar MPPT	com.victron.BlueSolarMPPT	--
DEV_TYPE_BlueSolar_MPPT_VECan	BlueSolar MPPT VE.Can	com.victron.BlueSolarMPPTVECan	--
DEV_TYPE_SmartSolar_MPPT	SmartSolar MPPT	com.victron.SmartSolarMPPT	DEV_DBUS_DESC_SmartSolar_MPPT
DEV_TYPE_SmartSolar_MPPT_VECan	SmartSolar MPPT VE.Can	com.victron.SmartSolarMPPTVECan	DEV_DBUS_DESC_SmartSolar_MPPT
DEV_TYPE_Phoenix_Inverter	Phoenix Inverter	com.victron.PhoenixInverter	--
DEV_TYPE_Phoenix_Smart_IP43_Charger	Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger	com.victron.PhoenixSmartIP43Charger	--
DEV_TYPE_SmartShunt	SmartShunt	com.victron.SmartShunt	--

NB! Many device types do not have DBus definitions. The only devices that are fully supported are SmartSolar MPPTs, because the first version was developed with only one SmartSolar MPPT product available. If you have different devices, you can send us their data trace so that we can correctly define the corresponding DBus object description. To get the data trace, simply monitor the serial port and copy what is sent by the device.
