Starter Battery Voltage in VRM Portal with SmartShunt (Cerbo 2.80)

Hi,

I have seen some Screenshots showing the starter battery voltage in VRM Portal. But I can't get it to work.
I have a SmartShunt connected to my main battery, the auxiliary measurement is connected to the starter battery. SmartShunt (Firmware 4.08) is connected to Cerbo GX with 2.80 firmware. In the Cerbo I have activated the starter battery measurement under Settings/System Setup/Battery Measurements. But it does not show up.

Do you have any suggestions?

thanks!

Not sure where you're looking, but try the advanced screen, you may have to turn on the widget for it.

I should have mentioned, under "Advanced" I turned the widget on and it is visible and data is shown. So in general the data is correctly transferred to the Portal.

But nothing is shown at the Dashboard. The "tile" at the dashboard is missing.

@soenke Did you enable "Show Details" on the VRM dashboard?

Hi,

I add some pictures from the net showing the Starter Battery Voltage in VRM Portal to get everyone to know, what I mean - what is not showing in my portal.handy.jpeg

Second: I deactivated the measurement and activated it back on, but had no luck.

Thanks!

Is the screenshot from before the Venus 2.8 update?

Did you update the shunt firmware?

These screenshots are not mine. They are from the web. The people said, they have 2.80-43 (big screenshot) and 2.8 final (mobile screenshot).


At my installation the starter battery voltage never showed up. As written I have updated the firmware of the SmartShunt to 4.08 and the Cerbo to 2.8 final.

Ist der Minuspol der Starterbatterie mit dem Minus des Systems (Load-Seite des Shunts) verbunden?

Wird die Spannung der Starterbatterie in VictronConnect und im GX-Gerät angezeigt?

Ja, so ist es. Gemeinsame Masse vorhanden und Spannung wird im Cerbo und in der App angezeigt. Auch im VRM-Portal unter Advanced kann ich mir den Verlauf der Starter-Batterie-Spannung im Diagramm anzeigen lassen. Werte kommen also an. Aber im Dashboard bekomme ich einfach diese Statusanzeige der aktuellen Spannung der Starter-Batterie nicht angezeigt.


Yes, that's true. There is a common ground and voltage is displayed in the Cerbo and in the app. I can also display the history of the starter battery voltages in the diagram in the VRM portal under Advanced. Values are coming to the VRM. But in the dashboard I just don't get this status display of the current voltage of the starter battery.

Ich habe mit dem CerboGX genau die gleichen Probleme.
"In der "HTML5-App-Seite" wird die Starterbatterie entsprechend der Einstellung im Cerbo angezeigt. Aber im VRM Portal kommt die Anzeige nicht."

Noch wichtiger wäre, dass man die Starter Batterie (zumindest die Volt Anzeige) direkt auf dem Touchscreen in der Übersicht sehen kann.

Aktuell bin ich sehr enttäuscht vom CerboGX. So teuer (+ Touchscreen) und so wenige Möglichkeiten die Ansichten zu verändern..

Gibt es da Möglichkeiten zur Verbesserung?

Ebenso könnte auch der Last Ausgang vom MPPT 100/15 in der Übersicht mit angezeigt werden...
