Sure wish the Bluetooth on the yeti 1500x would always stay on
The wifi/Bluetooth on the yeti 1500x will go off after a bit if not connected. It's a real hassle to have to press the button everytime to enable it, the only wifi Hotspot I have is my phone so when I leave it shuts off
Now the victron solar charger feeding the tank is always on so when I come back I can see it and it's status without having to go outside and pressing a button
Please goal zero enable Bluetooth always on in the next firmware update

Hi @yosemite,
Thank you for the suggestion. We will pass this along.

Has this ever been addressed? It's VERY annoying that bluetooth shuts off on me. I came home from a camping trip, and at home it should be connected to my home wifi. but I can't connect now without pulling it out of it's mount and manually turning on the Bluetooth. Ugh.

@Goal Zero Admin - could you give us some visibility as to where this is on the roadmap for the firmware?
I was upsold a Yeti 1500x over a 1000x on the promise that it would be possible to remotely switch off the AC panel when the unit is under the bed in my van. This allows me to save the 10W or so it takes to run the inverter I only need for Starlink from time to time.
However, no one mentioned that this actually is only half-functional - right now I can activate the AC remotely if I still have the Bluetooth connection, but I cannot remotely disable AC (and eliminate the power draw) because the Bluetooth goes to sleep… which means I have to get up, fold the bed, pull out the Yeti, press the BT button, connect with the app again and switch off the AC panel. This lets me switch it on in the morning… but no, because by the morning the BT has gone to sleep! It's a small issue that renders the BT connectivity completely useless if you don't want to be constantly manipulating the device manually.
