It is possible to combine both projects? Could you point out the differences of the protocols?

Protocol it's same

Only some devices from victoron have a power supply of + 5 V and some selected ones have a power supply of + 3.3 V, which could be a problem if they were on the same UART bus.

Using the same UART is no option. But it's possible to configure multiple UARTs. So we can load the victron component multiple times (one per UART). And we should inform the users to add a level shifter (if required).

so yes then that's a possibility
