Protocol overview

How it works

Victron devices publish real-time energy data through an MQTT broker, making it available to automation, monitoring, and energy management systems.

Connect through a broker

GX devices connect to Venus OS MQTT or another compatible broker and act as the gateway for connected products.

Subscribe to topics

Standard topic paths expose voltages, currents, operating states, alarms, and other measurements.

Interpret payloads

Payloads contain numbers, strings, or JSON objects. Metric metadata and enums describe how each value should be handled.

Supported Victron devices

A GX device is required. Cerbo GX, Venus GX, and Color Control GX devices expose data from connected Victron products through MQTT. Inverters, solar controllers, and battery monitors do not expose MQTT directly.

  • Cerbo GX / Venus GX / Color Control GXRequired gateways for MQTT access.
  • MultiPlus / MultiPlus-II / Quattro / Multi RS SolarInverter-charger product families, including Multi RS Solar 48/6000.
  • EasySolar / EasySolar-II / PhoenixInverter and integrated power solutions.
  • SmartSolar / BlueSolar MPPTVictron solar charge controllers, including MPPT 75/10 through 250/100 models.
  • BMV battery monitorsBMV-600/700 series, BMV-702, BMV-712, and similar models.
  • SmartShuntSmartShunt 500A, 1000A, and related variants.
  • Lynx power componentsLynx Shunt, Lynx Distributor, and related Lynx modules.
  • VE.Direct / VE.Can devicesMPPTs and other products connected through supported GX interfaces.
  • GX accessories and connectivityGX Touch, Smart Battery Sense, GlobalLink, GX LTE, and other peripherals.
  • Third-party devices via GXDevices bridged through VE.Bus, VE.Can, or VE.Direct.

Enums

Enums translate numeric MQTT payloads into operating modes, alarm states, relay statuses, and other human-readable values.
