Venus W/BMV712 on USB not showing under remote console

So I have 2 solar chargers connected through the VEdirect ports and the BMV712 connect to Venus through the USB. I am able to see BMV712 as connected device and see info as widget in advanced but I am sure there is a way to see BMV712 info in overview like I did when connected through VEdirect?

Maybe this will get a response in the VRM category?

Hi @treejohnny

The BMV should work through usb just the same as on ve.direct connection.

Did you do a reboot so the old connection is forgotten?

I didn't 'reboot' through software but I did power cycle it. The biggest letdown is that the battery info is not on the landing screen of VRM like it was before.

Thank You!!


I kept trying to find the setting in the portal without going into the ‘Remote Console’, duh.
