Node RED on CCGX

I have CCGX installation I want to enhance with Node-RED capabilities. What I was considering:

1/ Change CCGX for Ekrano or Cerbo.

- Suprisingly impossible at my place, because all three possible displays (Ekrano, Touch 50,70) are wider than original CCGX, which sits in nice handmade glass panel with lighting buttons :-(


2/ Add Raspberry Pi with Node-RED

I can point Victron nodes to dbus and use them, but AFAIK I will not have the VRM tunnel to it and cannot use dashboard remotely (unless I built another tunnel)


3/ Add Raspberry Pi (or Cerbo) with Venus OS

I will work, will have actually "two" installations on VRM.


I am missing something?

Thanks for any ideas.

Option 3 isn't really going to work for you as you can't have 2 GX's connected to the same system.

Please note that this is a topic for the modifications section, which has moved.
