I am unable to access the Cerbo GX Remote Console via the Victron Connect app and Bluetooth. I purchased the Cerbo GX so I could view my charging system components working together, as well as view fuel and water levels on my boat. Both the data sheet and the manual clearly states that this should be possible.
From the data sheet:
"This communication-centre allows you to always have perfect control over your system from wherever you are and to maximise its performance. Simply access your system via our Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal, or access it directly, using the optional GX Touch screen, a Multi-Functional Display (MFD) or our VictronConnect app thanks to its Bluetooth capability."
From the manual:
“Make sure that the Cerbo GX is powered on, and the Bluetooth LED is blinking.
Open the Victron Connect App within 10 meters of the Cerbo GX and wait for nearby devices to be discovered.
Once discovered, Click or Tap on the Cerbo GX.
On first connection you will be asked to enter a bluetooth PIN code - the default PIN is 000000
You will then be asked to change this insecure default PIN code to a more secure unique code. Please set your unique code, and then put it in a safe place for passwords in case you forget.
From the main device screen it is possible to change the networking settings, view the system on VRM, or open the Remote Console.”
After following the instructions above, it is not possible to open the Remote Console, as my main screen does not give this option. It only gives me options to change the PIN code or edit the name of the device. The only other input I can access on the screen is the little Settings wheel icon in the upper right, which is all about setting up networks other than Bluetooth. I have since read other comments indicating that the Remote Console is not available via Bluetooth and Victron Connect, despite what both the data sheet and the manual state. This is a critical feature for me, as my boat will not have access to Wi-Fi or the Internet. Please confirm, or not, as I will be retuning the device if it can't do what I was lead to believe it could do.
