NPM and Node updated and SK and KIP not fully functional
I was trying to update SK to 2.13.4 and it would not update. Ran updates on the RPi system and it now has NPM 10.9.2 and Node 22.14.0. When I start SK it starts, still will not install 2.13.4 and I have lost data on the NMEA2000 system that comes several NMEA2000 components. Do I need to roll bakc the NPM and Node versions?

bt-sensors-plugin-sk Victron Battery Sense no temperature
I added my Victron Battery Sense in the bt-sensors-plugin. But, there is no field to provide the temperature in that plugin. That is one of the main parameters to get from this device. How can the temperature be added to the plugin?

bt-sensors-plugin-sk Not seeing Orion charger
I had a few Victron items that were connected to SignalK using the Victron Instant Data over BLE. I installed the bt-sensors-plugin to add other, non-Victron bluetooth devices. Now I cannot get one of the victron devices to connect using bluetooth. I have two Orion DC-DC units. The bt-sensors-plugin sees only one of them. They are located about the same distance from my RPi running SK.
Any ideas on how to get the other Orion connected (it does connect to the Victron app on my phone)?
It appears both blue tooth plugins cannot be used at the same time.

DC Load - Data input nit available
I created a new calc for the Derived Data plugin to calculate the total DC load. One of the data points is the DC output of the shore power charger. But, when I am away from the dock and the shore power charger is off, the calc does not work. It works if I turn off the charger and it still has AC power, because the output is 0. But, when it is off with no AC power, it does not exist.
How do I check for this and have the calc decide what calculations to use?
Thanks.
