VictronConnect app

VictronConnect requires Windows 10 or later. For older Windows versions, XP and Vista, check our archive of previous VictronConnect versions. Keep in mind that previous software releases might not include all the capabilities found in the latest versions.

USB Driver installation

Windows 10 ships with a compatible driver for both the VE.Direct USB cable and the MK3-USB cable: there is normally no need to install a driver for that. In case you do have issues connecting to a Victron product via USB, we recommend manually installing the VE.Direct USB driver. You can download it from our website on the Software downloads page.

For Windows 7 and Windows 8, we always recommend installing the USB driver.

These USB drivers can be installed with or without the USB cable connected to your computer. It will automatically install the files to be used once you connect the cable.

Today's version of VictronConnect runs on any Mac with Intel or Apple Silicon chip that runs macOS version from macOS 13 (Ventura) up to macOS 26 (Tahoe).

For older macOS versions, 11 / 10.11/10.10/10.9, an older version of VictronConnect is still available in the Apple Store. Do note that the older version is unsupported: if it works then great, that is why we provide that older version. If it does not work, then it's too bad, and we’ll not be able to help. The solution is then to get another laptop or device, that can work with the most recent version of VictronConnect.

To connect to a Victron product with Bluetooth, the Apple computer needs to have Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth Low Energy or Bluetooth Smart).

Android 9.0 is the minimum version required to run VictronConnect. For older Android versions, check our archive of previous versions.

An older version of VictronConnect that works for some Android 4.3 and 4.4 users is still available in the archive , but it is unsupported.

The required hardware is ARMv7 and later, as well as x86 or ARM64bit.

Why is Access to Location Services required?

Android 5 and later requires access permission for VictronConnect to the (coarse) Location Services. Otherwise, it can not scan for the Bluetooth products.

In addition to permitting access to its data, the Location Services need to be enabled in many (but not all) cases.

Note that after enabling Location Services, the GPS itself can be switched off again: Android Location Services are more than GPS. Bluetooth and WiFi scan results can technically also be used to approximate the phone's location; hence, these requirements.

Despite the above, you can be sure that Victron is not interested in nor tracking your location.

Being sensitive to privacy issues at Victron ourselves, we are not happy with this requirement. But there is nothing we can do about it, unfortunately. More information about why it is needed to enable the Location Services is here.

VictronConnect works on the following iPhones and iPads running iOS 17 / iPadOS 17 or higher:

iPad

Unfortunately, Apple iPhone/iPad devices don't support USB OTG.

VictronConnect is available via Linux AppImage. It can be downloaded from here: VictronConnect Software Download

More details can be found here.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to provide continued support for all operating system versions. A new release of VictronConnect may stop working with older operating system versions.

We always recommend updating your device to the latest operating system version that it supports. If your device still won't run the latest version of VictronConnect, then you may need to install an older version. See the table below for links to older versions of VictronConnect.
