VRM Portal ID for direct installation on Raspbian?

Hi! I've recently gone through the steps of installing a direct installation of VenusOS on Raspbian as per https://github.com/victronenergy/venus/wiki/install-venus-packages-on-Debian (I want to be able to keep the RPi features, so this seemed ideal!). However; I'm getting stuck when trying to add it to the VRM portal. I get the below error:

The installation with the specified VRM Portal ID or IMEI could not be found.
For more information see:
Datalogging to VRM 

I'm using a RPi Zero 2W, so no Ethernet port. I've tried the WiFi MAC address but that doesn't seem to work either. Any ideas what ID it is using off the RPi for the VRM portal?
