Connect venus gx and smart meter ET340
Yes, you can though not via a network cable. You'll need to connect it via a RS485 to USB interface to your GX device. I suggest reading the manual for the ET340.
Hey Stefanie thx for the Fast answer,
Can i make the cable self, What cable confection from usb is needed? Do you have an picture For me?
Thx

It's not just a cable but an interface/converter. I strongly suggest using the interface linked in my above answer or search the community for a diy version (error prone and unsupported) if you have the technical skills to do so. This topic has been discussed before.
Thx Stefanie, i have buyed a original cabel. But i have a second question, how i can i connect the multiplus2 to the venus gx?
And to add to what @shaneyake said, I suggest also reading the Venus GX manual how to connect Multis/Quattros/Invertes (VE.Bus products) and the MultiPlus-II manual.
The connection also depends on your battery system, for example if a VE.Bus BMS is connected etc. I do not intend to come across unfriendly, and that is not my intention, but such general questions are difficult to answer because the conditions are unclear, experienced electrician or not, which system is installed, which batteries with which chemistry etc. In any case, it is always advisable to contact a professional installer.
