Can’t connect to remote console

Hi all

For a few days now I cannot connect to the remote console either through Victron connect app or VRM.

Any advice please? As I cannot monitor battery levels which are critical this time of year.

Thanks

Hi @willowfarm and @valos

What does the VRM site say about the last connection? ('last updated')

about wifi acces:

We don’t have separate GX, it’s in the multiplus.... I don’t think we have a button to press?

Then your GX device doesn't have a working internet connection, or the GX device is not working.

can you reach it on your local network?

the MultiplusII GX has a 'reset' button that should have this function. try it.

Same here, I have a Venus GX device and can't access its remote console since 11-Jan-2020.

Thanks. I can’t even see the ‘Venus’ on my WiFi list anymore?

It says:

Last updated a few seconds ago, status OK


When I try to open the console from VRM I see this error message:

That's pretty funny (I didn't know that would happen) :).

Any clues after you have read 5.6?

I clicked ‘reset’ button on the multiplus and I have connection back! Thank you for your help

It is working again here. I didn't do anything to fix it though.
