I can confirm that GUI mods caused the malfunctioning of VRM Portal . As soon as I uninstalled the package all the functionalities in VRM were back.

Anyway I'm in doubt about this behavior when I was running the package on Venus OS installed on Raspi I had no problems.

I have no idea how GuiMods could be changing VRM's view of the system. The only file I modify that cold have any impact on what's shown on VRM is systemcalc and I only add things to what's provided by Victron. Nothing is changed or deleted.

If systemcalc is crashing, then you would not see values on the local GUI either.

I would need much more info to try to track things down:

Venus OS version, and any testing you've done on other versions.

GuiMods version.

Devices in your system.

log files. The ReadMe for SetupHelper has details on how to collect them.

Screen shot of the device list on the main GUI with and without GuiMods installed.

Screen shot of VRM with and without GuiMods.

As soon as I have a little time I will provide the info you required. I just noticed the malfunction in VRM immediately after installing GUI Mods and the malfunction disappeared immediately after I uninstalled GUI Mods.

Before collecting all the informations you required I just tried to reinstall the GUI Mods and now I see that the VRM portal works properly. I will monitor it for some time to see if something changes.

It this may help I'm using Venus 3.11 on Cerbo GX.
