Extra display on Easysolar II GX ?

The situation is a EasySolar II GX 24/3000/70-50 in parallel with a Multiplus II 24/3000/70-50

Connected to VRM portal.


Is it possible to add an extra display, color control, etc. here?

Multiplus-II

You can add a Cerbo, CCGX, etc to the system by disconnecting the one internal to the EasySolar. You will then not have a local display however.

CCGX is not recommended for new installations. It will not ever support gui-v2 for example.

You could use a (old) phone or tablet to connect to the remote console locally.

Wanted to do that but iPAD2 does not work with VRM.

you don't need VRM access, just have the iPad on the same local network as the EasySolar-II or even just connect directly to the access point in the EasySolar-II.

I think "enable remote console on LAN" is always enabled on an EasySolar-II - I don't have one here to check.

I know that I can see Remote Console using IP address, but I would like to also see the same system graphical screen as CCGX or Ekrano can show.

???

That's exactly what you see if you use the local IP to connect to the GX device.

If you want to get closer, this thread:

https://community.victronenergy.com/articles/5930/disable-hotkeys-in-venus-remote-console-on-lan.html

describes how to remove the buttons.

There are also settings in some browsers to run in "kiosk" mode that hides the menu bar, etc.
