Lynx Shunts sometimes not showing on Cerbo

Hello fellow enthusiasts!


I am encountering a very puzzling error.

I have two Lynx Shunts connected to my Cerbo.

However either 0,1 or 2 of these shunts are being displayed in the Overview Hub on my Cerbo Display as tiles (DC Power) and in the menu, after everything has booted.

That situation is also constant and it only changes upon reboot, where again, it is like a "throw of dice" which shunts will be shown.

I can confirm that the shunt lights are constantly glowing green.

Does anybody know what that may be?

Could you perhaps supply the CAN matrix for the shunts?


Thank you so much!

Have you checked Settings> System setup > Battery monitor? Only one of the two can be the system -wide shunt and should be selected manually.

@Stefanie I didn't set anything there yet, but would that still display both shunts simultaneously in the overview? If not, what would I need to do instead? After all, I have seen both shunts at the same time already before, which is exactly what I want. I just want them both to be displayed at all times, consistently not not be buggy and disappear occasionally with restarts.

Only the one you select in System setups > Battery monitor is the system shunt and is shown in the graphical overview. It is not possible to have both in this overview. Nevertheless, both are displayed in the device list of your GX device.
