WIDGET BUG REPORT Solar on widget misreporting PV info

I have ET112 on grid and and a second one on PV through a CERBO GX. It's all working fine except the "quick glance" data on widgets and dashboard of VRM is not getting updated correctly.

Zero actual solar pv shows 2715 watts all the time, and when the sun hits the panels, the widget seems to be adding 2715 to the total.


Note that I'm still awaiting batteries so the inverter has yet to be powered on and set up, it's just CERBO monitoring the AC loads and PV on the roof till the batteries show up.

Is this a bug?

Screenshots below

Open the dashboard and it first shows wrongly then self-corrects to the actual data. Widget remains in error

The dashboard is correct.

Hi Alex, the system is live with a battery and I haven't seen the issue again ever since connecting. It was coincident with a software release and so I would agree that it is resolved.


Thank you!

Thanks @Guy


As it's not a 'live' system yet they are welcome to remote into it.

It's basically Cerbo with an ET112 on house grid main incomer, and another on AC PV, and nothing else yet. I.e. just monitoring and data collection till batteries arrive mid January.
