Consumption Data not Showing in VRM

whatsapp-image-2022-02-17-at-85456-am.jpegwhatsapp-image-2022-02-17-at-85400-am.jpegMy system (Phoenix VE Drirect Inveter 24/1200, Smart Solar MPPT 150/35, SmartShunt, Cerbo GX) does not show the energy consumed but when I enable the "Have DC" option in VRM, this data is calculated and ddisplayed. If I have a cerbo GX and a Smart Shunt do I need to enable the "Have DC" option in VRM to account for the DC power consumed by the Cerbo GX and Shunt? Is the inverter itself treated as a DC load drawing DC power from the battery and coverting it into AC?

The DC option shows loads that are directly drawing from the battery and not inverter and would explain this.

Is the inverter one of them? If no, then what I have is too much as I only have the Cerbal and Shunt as the only DC items connected to the battery. I have a Wifi router connected to the inverter even if the inverter is reading 0 Watts.
