SmartSolar MPPT 100/50 Internal Temperature

[jakehh]

I recently switched from using OpenDTU on Battery to Victron2MQTT, since I am not using the features of OpenDTU anymore. What I noticed was that Victron2MQTT seems to not provide the internal temperature measurement of my SmartSolar MPPT 100/50. OpenDTU did show this value from the device, so I assume that this should be part of the VE.direct protocol. Does anyone know about the internal temperature of the Victron devices and why it may not be provided by VE.direct?

Thanks in advance!

ve.direct only support the battery temp sensor that can connected on varius device.
it think OpenDTU dont use ve.direct, in ve.hex it can recive the internal temperature

ok, thank you for the clarification! I didn't know the difference between ve.direct and ve.hex. Is there maybe the possibility that Victron2MQTT could support ve.hex in the future? Or is this not an option due to the restrictions of the ESP8266?
