The VE.Bus Smart dongle is two products in one:
First of all it is the Bluetooth accessory for our range of inverter/chargers: Multis, MultiPlusses, MultiPlus-II, MultiGrid, MultiGrid-II, Quattros, and our series of Phoenix Inverters with a VE.Bus port. When installed, use the VictronConnect App to monitor operation and also operate the system: change the input current limit as well as switch between Off, On and Charger-only modes.
Secondly it can work as a Voltage- and Temperature-sense device for the inverter/charger. This works with all models.
For monitoring, the device is a great alternative in caravans, smaller yachts and motor homes for which the Color Control GX or Venus GX are a step too far.

Chris The dongle is helpful for smaller systems where you don't need a Cerbo and like to monitor your system with the convenience Bluetooth connectivity. For programming your multiplus you will need the MK3 usb though.
Two things of improvement:
1. Weak Bluetooth signal. Increase distance and strength as a couple walls in the the way you loose signal in the house.
2. Add in state of charge (SOE) to the battery voltage and temperature sensing capabilities. For VE smart network that integrates your solar charge controller with your multiplus it would be ideal to have SOE. A smart shunt for example would need to be added to share and communicate SOE over multiple devices.
