As Bluetti becomes more popular among outdoor enthusiasts I think the app need a passcode to log in a unit. Without this passcode and in a crowded camp ground, people would log in a wrong unit and try to turn on/off. This would be a big headache.
Imagine coming back to camp to find out your unit was turned off by someone and your your ice cream has melted.
I strongly suggest that Bluetti app team would implement this ASAP. Thanks.
Thanks Selfmadestrom. Hope they include this new feature soon. Many of my camping friends bought other brands last month just because of lack of security in Bluetti apps, even with the price drops.
Hi @LN2023, We apologize for not noticing your message earlier, which caused a delay in our response.
We agree that the Bluetooth encryption feature is very necessary. The new AC50B model has been equipped with hardware encryption chips, supporting this feature. Future models will also include this functionality.
Currently, some batches of the AC70/AC180/AC2A models support this feature. Please provide the serial number from the bottom of your unit so we can confirm.
Thanks to @Selfmadestrom for the help and explanation.
Hi @LN2023, The serial number is different from SN number, it is another barcode pasted on the buttom of the AC180, can you take a photo like this? Then we will check if your AC180 support this function.
Hi @LN2023, Thank you for getting back to us so quickly.
I will send it to our factory and let them confirm it, I will contact you when we get an answer.
Hi @LN2023, I am sorry but we found that your machine’s batch does not fall under the Bluetooth encryption feature. As a new feature, we are only trialing it on a small batch of machines. Unfortunately, we couldn’t assist you with this.
Only the newer models starting from AC50B will cover all batches.
Thanks. Can you talk to app people for hardcoding passcode into firmware for each unit. This does not require encryption hardware. Or is there a way to give me the source code and I will figure it out myself. I am fairly good on android app coding. TIA.
