Multiplus Control through CerboGX without a GX Touch?

I’ve had to send my GX Touch back because it has a problem. I can control all the components of my system connected to my CerboGX through my phone except the Multiplus Which doesn’t appear anywhere except the GX Touch.

How do I control that without a Touch?

Use the remote console and your phone browser, you will see exactly the same screen as you do on the touch.

My Cerbo GX only appears as “other” device.c44d1ade-d5e5-4459-a8b9-ed30115f1674.png

Steps to Manually Connect:


Stand as close as possible from the Cerbo GX, and no further than a few meters away.


Go to the WiFi settings on your phone / tablet / laptop.


After searching, the Cerbo GX will show up in the list, as Venus-HQ1940DEFR4-3b6. Where HQ… is the serial number as printed on the side of the box.


Open VictronConnect, it will start scanning the WiFi network automatically.


Once found, select the GX device from the list.


Open the Remote Console

You need to connect to the WiFi of the GX itself using your phones WiFi.

There is a sticker on the bottom with the details.

After multiple attempts over a couple of days, it finally started working after a Cerbo reboot.

Thanks!
