"AC load" and "Generator" is switched!
How do I correct this?
(firmware upgrade, 3.00, don't change anything ;o)
I don't have a generator in my setup
The energy ET340 is correctly displayed in device list.

How do I get "AC Load" on my Dashboard?
Not having a Victron inverter should have been mentioned in the first post.
It's a very important "detail" you omitted from the question.
You're trying to get the benefits of a Victron system without a Victron inverter. That won't work well.
You can see what the meter is doing via the advanced tab, but the dash is intended to work in supported configurations and you don't have one.
I don't see that basic information has been supplied.
- WHAT MODEL INVERTER?
- IS IT CONNECTED TO THE VE.BUS PORT OF THE CERBO?
- IF SO, HAVE YOU TRIED A DIFFERENT CABLE?
- ARE ANY OTHER DEVICES/ITEMS PLUGGED INTO THE VE.BUS PORTS?
Yes, of course.
I run in island mode, off-grid mode and would like to know how the "AC load" (as in Device List) can be displayed as "AC load" on the dashboard and not to the nonexistent "Generator".
it does not provide any value to monitor the grid - I would like to monitor the AC load ;o)
You definitely need an energy meter to measure AC power, no doubt that the intention of an energy meter is to measure (ac)-energy.
Note that the measurement is correct on cerbo.
I have no ACIN, therefore the energy meter is set up to measure AC load. (in Corbo setup ACin is set as not available)
My system only has an AC load, it can hardly be more specific ;o)
It's a huge bug to show a value in a section that is diasbled or not installed.
And My question is how do I display the AD load at the correct position in the VRM, 'AC-LOAD'?
It reminds me of the problem I currently face, where the inverter state is also shown as off but it is working (without grid)
Can you show the main page of the vrm and the inverter in the device list?
From the manual:
With GX device firmware version 2.80 and later, they can also be used for other purposes e.g. to measure specific, arbitrary AC loads or circuits for example. But this should not be considered a replacement to having a Victron Inverter/Charger. Attempting to use other brand battery inverters and trying to substitute their lack of data connectivity to the GX device by using Energy Meters will not work as expected.
I will be selecting this as the answer so it appears at the top of the post, and consider this topic closed.
