Bluetooth Adjustable Converter?

[BFL13]

As a sort of rv.net tech issues survey, would you like your converter to have a bluetooth module that you could set the charging parameters Vabs and Vabs timing to any voltage and time, kind of like this? :

Most converters are not adjustable, but do not meet many typical battery charging specs, which can be frustrating. If a solar controller or the charger in an inverter/charger can have this, why not a converter?

Would you use it if yours had it? is the question. Thanks.

The solar controller I installed in the Safari is Bluetooth controlled, and I really like having that function, it replaces a dedicated wired in monitor and control module,
I installed the control app on my tablet,
As. For app updates,, an app designed and dedicated to operating one piece of hardware, comes from the hardware mfg, an once setup and working, is less likely to cause problems than a controller module, and does not need maintaining, backup the app on your Google drive or MS one drive, it will be there if you get a new phone

Yes if my converter had that ability, I would use it

Tbh nope, I'd rather it be on a small screen with a program running on the microcontroller or just set via DIP switches. The reason is long term support, stupid apps don't get maintained or the company goes bankrupt and the app ceases to be available when you replace your phone. An I2C 4" screen and some ribbon or twisted pair cable is going to cost less than writing and maintaining an app.

Yet another "Iot" Internet of things product?

Something else to break on the next firmware update?

Nope.

Too many glitchy half baked "app" products out there already..

I rather just go camping instead of micromanaging my batteries..

As I said... if it is working correctly I don't need to monitor it. The good converters have a timer.

You usually want a timer on Vabs.
