Hi All
Its been a while since I've been on here or tinkered lol, I was just wondering if anyone knows how to add the extra relays onto the switch page/tap on the VRM. I have venus running on a rpi 3b+ and I have 8 relays working on it but only one shows on the VRM, is it possible to get all 8 showing? with @Kevin Windrem page mods I have all 8 showing in the switches pop up menu when you press the button pop up.
Any help or Ideas would be great thanks in advance.

I don't recognize the "SWITCHES" tile covering the tanks area. Must be yours or someone else modification to my GuiMods Mobile Overview enhanced page. Nice work.
I have no idea how to make additional relays show up in VRM. That web page is a completely different user interface from the local and remote consoles. So that's the code that would need to change and I have no idea where it is or how it could be modified.
@Kevin Windrem Thanks but I was sure it was yours??? Maybe @Rob Duthie can tell us?? But its been a while since I tinkered so??? Lol
If you'd like a copy of the page then no problem just let me know how and where to share it.
And thanks for info on vrm I just assumed that it would be in the venus reporting to vrm what's available if that makes sense.
Cheers

Yes victron device don't cover the added relays on there own Cerbo, CCGX etc, so only 2 relays are showing on the VRM, the raspi has extra 6x will not show due to no software for the VRM site and Venus to show them.

VRM would be a totally different undertaking that what GuiMods and RpiGpioSetup provides.
When I built the relay overview page, RPI only had 6 relays defined. Additional relays could be added but you'd need to make the screen scroll or page sideways. Making the columns narrower would not leave room for text, etc. A sideways swipe would conflict with the mechanism to change overviews so it would probably need to be a "More >" button.
Thanks @Kevin Windrem, I've got the 8 relays on your pop up, I was just wondering if they could be referenced / show up on the VRM like relay 1 does if that makes sense.

Hi Mark, How did you get 8 switches to appear?
I can't work out how to more than 6 to appear on the relay screen. I then thought Node Red might be the answer but it limits us to only 4....
I know there are others on the Venus forums that would also be very interested in how you have added 8.
Well Done
