Apple watch app and new VRM app?

Probably not a huge priority for you guys, but could you please make an apple watch app for the VRM app?

I also remember reading about a new vrm app, is this still in the works?

VRM

The new VRM app has now been released and should be available in the app stores.

I don’t know of any plans for a Victron watch app, but one user has already created one themselves -

What "new" VRM app?


Why are we reading this from community forum, if you happen to stumble it in comments? I follow Victron Energy in Twitter and there is just usual noise, nothing about new VRM app. Where are the release notes?

Hi Guy,

Greetings from the bleeding edge commmunity ;-)
Just a quick word that the iOS widgets work great and look very nice on latest iOS16 beta. Kudos for those. Very, very useful.
If watch companion functionality can be added in the VRM app, or widgets and complications, that would also be very useful FWIW.

Many thanks.

This is not for the Apple watch as the OP did ask for.

Edit, this is broken with the latest version of Venus OS that moved the NR url to https.

Finally found the time to spend some time with this today. A local url via a shortcut works quite well with a small Node Red control panel. FWIW the small panel below opens local in approx.10 secs. via a shortcut complication. The remote path via the VRM still throws errors but for local usage this is really quite useful.

The blue Node Red titlebar can only be removed for the entire site, but that is a workaround too I guess. Some 3d party browsers can do "kiosk mode" with no title or adress bars which of course also free up space for another row or two. Seeing the new iPhone VRM widgets, I am also curious if Victron will add a companion Watch app to the current VRM app and add widgets or complications that can be shown on the Apple Watch. Would certainly be very cool and useful.

Maybe it is posible to get the SOC to a Watchface.
