Since the VRM update on 2022/05/04, the dashboard no longer displays the charge phase (bulk/absorption/float).
I assume this is not intentional.
Can someone please fix it.

MPPT charge phase no longer displayed on VRM dashboard
Hi @Stuart Smith,
It was intentionally removed, see this thread for more info and the discussion.
Thanks. Not really the answer that I wanted. The only errors I have ever seen seem to be when moving from bulk to absorb, or absorb to float. The impression that I had was that it was polling the controllers and they may not be totally in sync. It only ever seemed to happen for a few seconds at most.
I'd prefer to have the lollipop an optional setting as it works very well for me.
Just disappeared from the app now also. I feel like we need to push back on this change. It should be our choice if we want to see the phases or not. I’m sorry a few folks had an issue that changes it for everyone. We might need to get a vote out there. I’m about to add a 3rd MPPT into my system, but seems pointless to add it to vrm. Maybe it’s just me that feels this way. If so, understood.
Agreed, this is a big down vote. We used this charging state information to make key decisions around turning on appliances, knowing when bulk, absorption and Float is in progress are all key, more so when the battery charge state is showing 100% but it's yet to truly finish charging so drawing mass amount of power for say and electric water heater or EV charging, may not be something you want to do yet.
One should not simply remove functionality when an issue is presented, at least give the customers an option to use the feature after an acknowledgement is given to proceed using it even with its flaws.
