Power system compatibility
Zora reads power equipment two ways: straight off NMEA 2000, or from a Victron GX over the boat network. Only the GX route carries commands back.
At a glance
| Family | Models | Zora |
|---|---|---|
| Victron GX devices | Cerbo GX, Cerbo-S GX, Ekrano GX, Color Control GX, Venus GX | Works, partly untested |
| Battery monitors, chargers and solar controllers on NMEA 2000 | Victron SmartShunt VE.Can, Victron Lynx Shunt VE.Can, Victron MultiPlus-II, Victron Quattro, Victron BlueSolar and SmartSolar MPPT VE.Can | Works |
| Mastervolt | MasterBus devices, Mass Combi, Mass chargers, MLI batteries | No |
What the three answers mean
- Works with Zora. Zora drives this.
- Not supported. Zora cannot drive this. It is still visible on the bus.
- On the roadmap. Not built yet. It is on the list, with no date.
- Works, untested. Built, and not yet checked on a boat. Works, partly untested. The row names what has not been checked.
Victron GX devices
Works with Zora. Batteries, chargers, inverters, solar, tanks and temperature sensors behind the GX. From Zora: the GX relays, inverter and charger mode, AC input limits, solar on and off, what the BMS allows, and generator start.
Not yet tested on a boat: Zora switches the system's modes, limits and relays.
Needs. A security profile set on the GX, MQTT on LAN enabled, and Zora given the GX password when the profile sets one.
Models: Cerbo GX, Cerbo-S GX, Ekrano GX, Color Control GX, Venus GX. Also called: victron, cerbo, cerbo gx, venus os, gx, color control, ekrano.
Battery monitors, chargers and solar controllers on NMEA 2000
Works with Zora. Battery, charger and solar values read straight off NMEA 2000. Several Victron devices also send a switch bank on instance 0 by default, which gets in the way of digital switching on the same bus.
Models: Victron SmartShunt VE.Can, Victron Lynx Shunt VE.Can, Victron MultiPlus-II, Victron Quattro, Victron BlueSolar and SmartSolar MPPT VE.Can. Also called: smartshunt, lynx shunt, multiplus, quattro, mppt, battery monitor, 127506, 127508.
Mastervolt
Not supported. No Mastervolt integration.
Models: MasterBus devices, Mass Combi, Mass chargers, MLI batteries. Also called: mastervolt, masterbus.
A power system that is not on this page
A power system that is not listed here is unknown, not incompatible. This page says what has been checked, and nothing has been checked about the rest.
Contact support with the make and the model of the battery monitor, charger or inverter, and how it is connected on the boat.
