hi,

i have a solar charger from victron energy mppt 75/25 with build in Bluetooth and download the victron connection android app to set up my charger. but i cant connect to the device. i get a message "problem with paring, the passcode does not match." but there is no way to set the code. the factory code is 000000. the manual say do not connect the device outside the victron app but the app did not find the device. so someone know how to connect the victron charger to my xperia x ?

thank you and greetz

Not sure if this will help but try bluetoothctl (you need to enable developer mode and then open terminal)

run bluetoothctl

[bluetooth]# help
  1. pairable on
  2. discoverable on
  3. agent on
  4. default-agent
  5. devices

try pairing

  1. pair <dev></dev>
  2. trust <dev></dev>

if not working you may play with advertise <uuid> of a service. No idea though what kind of service this would be.</uuid>

In my case I have severe problem with the fact that Sailfish X (since 2.1 or 2.2) is now with bluez5 and many things are not working, while older version are with bluez4 where these same things work.

My biggest problem is the car audio, but not only. I need to spend some time in the car with the phone and the notebook so that I can play with all those service advertisements etc. As mentioned before you can play with them more easily. Let me know if it helped, pls.
