View power generated from generator in VRM App

Is it possible on the VRM app to view how much power has come from the generator? It used to show it as from grid but since I changed ac1 to be generator I can’t seem to find anything to say how much power has come from the generator. I have a Multiplus ii gx and am totally off grid.


many thanks.

Did you change the setting in the GX, when you moved the Gen to AC1?

AC1 to be Generator AC2 to be shore (or none)

Hi @Davidl

VRM only counts Generator consumption, the part of it that's directly used as a load. But not that portion used to charge batteries.

This makes the System Overview near to useless.. this is mine with no Grid, Generator selected..

Be great to see a fix for this..

Thanks for that, same as what mine shows. When mine was set to Grid and not Generator (even though it was a generator connected) it would tell you in the From Grid box how much it had used. I could change it back but not sure if there would be any implications in doing that.

Couldn't you tweak that by calling it grid on AC1?

@Davidl

You could do that, but the data will remain recorded under the selection chosen at the time.

There's also the 'Shore' selection, which I haven't tested. And I sometimes wonder how a Quattro user makes sense of double selections..
