Possible for Cerbo GX to show (edit: on Touch 50) incoming power without Quattro or Multi installed?

I do not have any Victron devices inline with incoming shore power, is it possible to add a Victron AC Current sensor to feed the Cerbo incoming current data to display on the GX Touch 50?

Hi @SquareJ

Without a Victron Inverter/Charger, and only an energy meter (set to grid) connected, you won't see AC input displayed on the 'home screen' of the GX device.

You can see the numbers in the device list, and on VRM it will be logged as 'grid' power.

I'll include some screenshots of a system I've installed like this, to measure power use of a factory.

I should have been more specific in my question, yes, i would like the AC numbers to be visible on the Touch 50 display. Is a Quattro or Multi the only way to make this info display?

Thanks
