Installing Theengs Gateway builds Theengs Decoder, which fails according to your pastebin output because it can't find the necessary build tools: "Building windows wheels for Python 3.12 requires Microsoft Visual Studio 2022."

We don't support Windows officially, but in principle it should work if you manage to build it.

I have it working on Windows 11 but I have Microsoft Visual Studio installed

I've installed VS2022 but same error. Not sure if i have to install some extra package(s) in VS?

Perhaps running Theengs on a Mac is simpler? I don't have a Linux laptop available right now and it won't run on WSL (I've raised a separate issue for that)

While running fine, unfortunately on macOS there are no proper MAC addresses being published, but random UUIDs, a macOS wide Bluetooth feature to obfuscate disctinct MAC addresses. Will be good enough for some sample messages from your Victron gear, but not really as a constant gateway for inclusion in a controller set-up.

Possibly a CMake extension? And is your Python version 3 on Windows?
