VRM doesn't show voltage if Multiplus is off.

The Multiplus is connected to the Cerbo via VE bus utp. The BMV712 Smart is connected to the Cerbo via VE-direct. BMV712 is connected with the householdbattery and also via the auxiliaryport with the vehicle-batteries.

On the advanced tab of VRM i can see both voltages all the time and also on the dashboard but i can only see the voltage of the householdbattery in the box below when the multiplus is on. If the multiplus is off the box is blank. The question is what connection or setting do i have to make to see the householdvoltage all the time in the box below on the dashboard?vrm-mp-off.png

Which device do you have set up as the system battery monitor?
Maybe you have MultiPlus set as your battery monitor instead of BMV-712?

Check: Settings -> System Setup -> Battery Monitor

Also remember that those boxes are to show two or more batteries, so if one has gone away because the battery monitor of the MultiPlus is off when it is off, then there is no use for the boxes because the information shows in the maon box on the left which shows battery %

Yes The BMV is the battery monitor. I had the Multiplus also as monitor in veconfigure. I just removed it there but with no change. When i stopped the Multiplus the box went blank immediately.
