Graph showing input from solar, in/out to battery and output to load

Hey all,

I have a SmartSolar MPPT 100/20 with a 150w panel attached.

It feeds a 105Ah liFePo4 battery (via a Daly BMS)

The load is connected to a Phoenix 12/250

The SmartSolar and Phoenix are connected to a Raspberry Pi running Venus using the official Victron USB cables. It's connected to VRM and logging data just fine.

I'm trying to work out if there is a way to get one graph that shows the Wattage generated by the PV array, the wattage used by the load and the wattage either into or out of the battery.

I can see "system - Battery Power". This seems to go negative so I assume is the amount of power either into our out of the battery so that's a start.

I can also see "Solar Charger - PV Yeald" which seems to show the PV Yeald in Watts so I know that's there too.

But on the output side I only see "Solar Charger LoadOutput Current" no voltage or Power option.

I tried creating a custom widget and was able to add the Battery and PV power and did find an "Inverter - PV Power" option but I'm not really sure what that shows.


Does anyone have any ideas? I'm happy to play around with config files / roll my own if someone is able to point me in the right direction to start.

For the record the Inverter - PV Power shows nothing in my setup.
