I want my Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger to show on Remote Console

I have just bought a Cerbo GX with Touch 50, a Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger, in addition to all other Victron products I got like a MPPT charger, Phoenix Inverter, BVM with shunt ++.
I expected this all to be shown on the screen on the Remote Console, but it seems like the IP43 does not. (I have not checked the inverter yet).
This means that half the screen of the Touch is useless, which seems pretty stupid.

Is it correct that this will not show on the Touch? If so, will Victron add a way to show this at a later stage, cusomization of the console maybe?

I'd like this displayed, too. Instead, I have an empty red box in the top left. I also wonder how this will look when I've added two more MPPTs.

I realized that I could get this display and more by enabling GuiMods. Use their SetupHelper to install and enable it. Then, switch the the Flow Overview selection to GuiMods DC Coupled.

Unfortunately, it is correct. I am in the same boat.

One option, if you are technically-inclined, is to use an emulator to trick the Cerbo into thinking the Phoenix is a Multiplus, and displaying it on the screen accordingly. Something like this may work: https://github.com/mr-manuel/venus-os_dbus-multiplus-emulator
