The battery monitor you're trying to connect to. Model BMV-712

Do you have the round display inside also?

If so does it have power?

this is the one you said fixed it last time I believe

I've had this happen to me several times on my Victron solar controller.  It thinks it is connected to another bluetooth device even though it isn't.  You just need to do a hard reset.  Try to pull the plug in back of the display and then replug it in after a few seconds.  If that doesn't work pull the power wire (small red wire going to pc board on shunt) out of the shunt and then replug it in after a few seconds.

OK
Update.
Tried it, again, this afternoon. I had display on the monitor, but was having a little trouble getting the app to work on my phone. I like the phone better than the monitor. Anyway, when it asked for this crazy code, I once again, put in the 6 zeros. Success!!!
It said I needed an immediate update, which I did, and then....BINGO!!! All is good
Thanks to all of you for your help, especially JR who has Off The Grid LLC in Quartzite, if y'all ever need a Foretravel owner who installs solar. I know I will look him up, next time we are at the big Q, in the big tent.
