## What is VE?

VE-Display is a local monitoring app for Victron Energy BLE Instant Readout devices, designed for RV and mobile electrical systems.

The app reads Bluetooth Low Energy advertisement packets directly on the iPhone, decodes the encrypted Victron Instant Readout manufacturer data using the advertisement keys you provide, and displays the most useful electrical values in a clean, compact interface.

On Apple CarPlay, VE-Display uses a low-distraction workflow: discovered devices are shown as a simple list with large names and device-type icons. Select a device and VE-Display announces its key values through text-to-speech using the vehicle audio system. Select the same device again to repeat the announcement. Now in 5 languages: US, FR, IT, DE, ES
