VictronConnect on an Amazon Fire HD

[SacRV]

Does anyone know if you can run VictronConnect on a Fire tablet? It appears to use the Android iOS but Victron says it's not supported on Fire tablets.

Do you you know how to side load apps? Are you running the playstore on your Kindle? I dont have the need for the app so I cant check that particular app but most of the time if you're running a current kindle and know how to side load apps you're good to go.

Edit* just checked the playstore from my fire, its sees the app for download, that usally means it will run on the fire (with very few exceptions) .

Ok, thanks. I'll google loading side apps as that's greek to me. I was thinking of buying a cheap Fire during Prime days to use as a monitor.

Yes, I do this. I just needed to make it load Android apps first ("Side Load") - plenty of site out there on how to get the Google Play store working on it.

Its super easy, if you have any problems message me.

Just a quick follow-up, I was able to side load the VictronConnect app on the Fire and it works great. Thanks for the help!

@SacRV are you able to connect via USB to the Multiplus and make changes?

I haven't tried that. To my understanding that would be for connecting a computer but I might be wrong.

With the MK3 USB cable and an Android device (or a side-loaded Fire device) you can configure the Victron inverters without a computer.
