NMEAremote with Signal K Server on Cerbo GX

Hi, installed Signal K Server on Cerbo GX all is working as expected. Looking at instrumentpanel app directly on the signal k server I can see battery stats.

Using my NMEAremote App (wich I only connected to the signal k server) I can se everything from NMEA bus but not any of the victron battery stats. Any idea?


thanks...

Hello. I contacted the NMEAremote developper some weeks ago, because I had the same problem. He added the ability to obtain battery state from SignalK, which is not working in current version. In the beta version, all works great for me. I don’t know when it will be published.

@MacJL , does this mean that we will be able to get battery data from the NMEA network via Signal K into the Cerbo, and hence use that as a battery monitor?

Not sure what do you mean but that's my config, which works :

- Venus OS Large on RPI4 connected to Smartshunt and SmartSolar with VE.direct adapters

- Also connected to N2k network with USB-CAN interface

- SignalK connected to N2k network through same USB-CAN interface. It gets battery datas from N2k (Venus plugin not configured).

- NMEARemote connected to SignalK : I can see the battery informations on my iPad/iPhone, with other navigation datas.
