Victron Bluetooth Data in Home Assistant

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

I finally get the data from my Victron SmartSolar charge controller into Home Assistant using an ESP32 device powered by my EdgeSwith. I show you all the steps to doing it for any Victron Bluetooth device.

EDIT: As noted in the comments, I should have mentioned that I use a Raspberry Pi 4 to run Home Assistant, and that enables a certain way to add devices into ESPHome. Other devices require Home Assistant login via https, or you have to initially setup the new device on a PC/Mac after which it is then accessible via HA. Thanks to @vk2him for pointing this out.
