Victron MPPT 75/15

Been a couple of sunny days, leisure Battery charge improved to 12.58 (12.2 pre) already so it's doing its job! 

Just waiting on call back re app not showing solar readings etc. Although in the app my battery shows as 12.38! So it's out of date. Along with solar readings that are shown are way down than actual readings taken on multimeter (13.6)

Given up Victron suggested I contact supplier of Bluetooth module I have still waiting for reply! 6 days and counting. 
If I don't get reply I'll be back to victron! 
Meanwhile
Did a reset as per victron help site no joy! 
Still only shows some info on app " trend" of charge from solar. But it's easier just to use my multimeter all working fine!
So removed the dongle as it not doing its job!

More hassles 09/06/22

Over last couple of days battery not getting it's charge! Cannot find reason! 

So disconnected everything! One at a time first from fuse box, the propex seems a bit dodgy so disconnected via fuse box
Oven, fridge, water all ok 
Checked battery leads. 
Refitted Bluetooth dongle and a restart on mppt. 

Readings all ok PV, liesure battery and feed, but not showing any improvement! 
Reinstall of the victron app 
Solar was basically flat lining! Liesure battery down to 12.13! 
Checked connected battery leads.
Had 2 earth cables one from main battery one to chassis. Disconnected main battery earth. Checked readings nothing on mppt! Chassis earth cable is still connected to main battery so removed secondary earth from chassis. Reconnected main battery earth
Bingo! Earth point was clean so no idea why it should effect mppt operation. 
However the mppt yellow light is flashing away happily ( charging) and within a couple of minutes liesure battery voltage up by 2 ! 
Checking in an hour or so as it's cloudy and probably rain! 
Fingers crossed.
