Victron Connect via VRM

no-vc-access-via-vrm.jpegGood day to all .

We monitor around 50 Victron systems via VRM. So quite familiar with VRM and Victron Connect. Among the 50, we recently noticed we could not access to the Victron Connect / VRM page for at least 3 of them . All the others are OK. And for these 3 (Well, at least 2 verified), we can easily access to Victron Connect via Bluetooth when in front ; But not from distance . It starts and stays at 40% as in the picture.

Note : Among the 3 GX : 1 is a color control, 1 is a Cerbo , and 1 is a Cerbo-S !

I need to access via Victron Connect to reach / Devices and change some settings on a Charge controller and a Battery Monitor .

I may be missing something . Unless I am mistaken, there are not even specific settings for these accesses . Any idea ? Thanks in advance

@Herve RV Nizard Any clues in the video?

2 way communication enabled? Remote console via VRM enabled?

Hi @Herve RV Nizard

You are running an old Venus OS with a new VictronConnect.

Probably Venus OS 3.30 (or older) with the new VictronConnect 6.05.
