A portable Arduino library for reading Victron Energy device data via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) advertisements — runs on both **ESP32** and **nRF52840**.
**⚠️ API CHANGE in v0.4 — not backwards compatible with v0.3.x**
v0.4 is a major rework of the library internals: new callback API, reduced memory usage, non-blocking scanning. See [VERSIONS](VERSIONS) for full details. A stable **v1.0** release with a consistent, long-term API is coming soon.
v0.6 adds **multi-platform support** (ESP32 + nRF52840) via a hardware-abstracted BLE backend and dependency-free bundled crypto. (v0.5 brought the decoding accuracy fixes and AC charger support; v0.4 reworked the internals — function-pointer callback API, reduced memory usage, non-blocking scanning.) See [VERSIONS](VERSIONS) for full details. A stable **v1.0** release with a consistent, long-term API is coming soon.

# Upgrading to VictronBLE v0.4
v0.4 is a breaking API change that simplifies the library significantly.
## Summary of Changes
- **Callback**: Virtual class → function pointer
- **Data access**: Inheritance → tagged union (`VictronDevice` with `solar`, `battery`, `inverter`, `dcdc` members)
- **Strings**: Arduino `String` → fixed `char[]` arrays
- **Memory**: `std::map` + heap allocation → fixed array, zero dynamic allocation
- **Removed**: `getLastError()`, `removeDevice()`, `getDevicesByType()`, per-type getter methods, `VictronDeviceConfig` struct, `VictronDeviceCallback` class
- **Removed field**: `panelVoltage` (was unreliably derived from `panelPower / batteryCurrent`)
## Migration Guide
### 1. Callback: class → function pointer
**Before (v0.3):**
```cpp
class MyCallback : public VictronDeviceCallback {
void onSolarChargerData(const SolarChargerData& data) override {
Serial.println(data.deviceName + ": " + String(data.panelPower) + "W");
}
void onBatteryMonitorData(const BatteryMonitorData& data) override {
Serial.println("SOC: " + String(data.soc) + "%");
}
};
MyCallback callback;
victron.setCallback(&callback);
```
**After (v0.4):**
```cpp
void onVictronData(const VictronDevice* dev) {
switch (dev->deviceType) {
case DEVICE_TYPE_SOLAR_CHARGER:
Serial.printf("%s: %.0fW\n", dev->name, dev->solar.panelPower);
break;
case DEVICE_TYPE_BATTERY_MONITOR:
Serial.printf("SOC: %.1f%%\n", dev->battery.soc);
break;
}
}
victron.setCallback(onVictronData);
```
### 2. Data field access
Fields moved from flat `SolarChargerData` etc. into the `VictronDevice` tagged union:
| Old (v0.3) | New (v0.4) |
|---|---|
| `data.deviceName` | `dev->name` (char[32]) |
| `data.macAddress` | `dev->mac` (char[13]) |
| `data.rssi` | `dev->rssi` |
| `data.lastUpdate` | `dev->lastUpdate` |
| `data.batteryVoltage` | `dev->solar.batteryVoltage` |
| `data.batteryCurrent` | `dev->solar.batteryCurrent` |
| `data.panelPower` | `dev->solar.panelPower` |
| `data.yieldToday` | `dev->solar.yieldToday` |
| `data.loadCurrent` | `dev->solar.loadCurrent` |
| `data.chargeState` | `dev->solar.chargeState` (uint8_t, was enum) |
| `data.panelVoltage` | **Removed** - see below |
### 3. panelVoltage removed
`panelVoltage` was a derived value (`panelPower / batteryCurrent`) that was unreliable (division by zero when no current, inaccurate due to MPPT conversion). It has been removed.
If you need an estimate:
```cpp
float panelVoltage = (dev->solar.batteryCurrent > 0.1f)
? dev->solar.panelPower / dev->solar.batteryCurrent
: 0.0f;
```
### 4. getLastError() removed
Debug output now goes directly to Serial when `setDebug(true)` is enabled. Remove any `getLastError()` calls.
**Before:**
```cpp
if (!victron.begin(2)) {
Serial.println(victron.getLastError());
}
```
**After:**
```cpp
if (!victron.begin(2)) {
Serial.println("Failed to initialize VictronBLE!");
}
```
### 5. String types
Device name and MAC are now `char[]` instead of Arduino `String`. Use `Serial.printf()` or `String(dev->name)` if you need a String object.
### 6. addDevice() parameters
Parameters changed from `String` to `const char*`. Existing string literals work unchanged. `VictronDeviceConfig` struct is no longer needed.
```cpp
// Both v0.3 and v0.4 - string literals work the same
victron.addDevice("MySolar", "f69dfcce55eb",
"bf25c098c156afd6a180157b8a3ab1fb", DEVICE_TYPE_SOLAR_CHARGER);
```
