Digital Yacht veKonvert NMEA 2000 Gateway

The Digital Yacht veKonvert brings NMEA 2000 connectivity to Victron's popular SmartShunt battery monitoring system, turning a navigation multi-function display into a sophisticated battery and energy management screen. It's a stand-alone NMEA 2000 interface designed in conjunction with Victron Energy itself, so the integration is built to their spec rather than reverse-engineered. That partnership is what lets it read Victron data reliably rather than guessing at an undocumented protocol.

It integrates VE.Direct compatible devices, including the SmartShunt, BMV Battery Monitors, and the MPPT Solar Charge Controller range, directly into an NMEA 2000 system. That functionality already existed before veKonvert, but it required a sophisticated Cerbo module to pull off. veKonvert delivers the same result as a lower-cost, single-purpose gateway instead of a full Cerbo installation.

For a boat owner who already has an NMEA 2000 multi-function display and just wants Victron battery data on that same screen, veKonvert is a far simpler and cheaper path than adding an entire Cerbo-based energy management system. It plugs directly into the existing NMEA 2000 backbone alongside the rest of the boat's electronics. That keeps the install straightforward, since there's no separate Cerbo unit to mount and configure. See what else we carry in marine networking.
