VictronConnect 5.2 - no devices listed on "Local" side

At the "Device List" page i see both the "Local" and the new "VRM" tabs.

Under the VRM tab the CCGX appears alongside my system name.

When I select this, all the devices connected to the CCGX (except my MultiPlus) are displayed and can be accessed.


Under the "Local" tab the CCGX also appears.

However when I select this item, all I get is "Product - Color Control GX" and its firmware version but none of the other devices connected to it are displayed.

Is this correct? Can VictronConnect only be used to access the other devices via VRM with an internet connection? My system is in our caravan and is often out of internet range. I was hoping to use the "Local" setting for quicker access.

@GMiller If you are local you will access devices with bluetooth or use cables as before so I do not believe it is it possible on the LAN side.

Thanks ejrossouw. My MPPT solar regulators and my BMV-702 battery monitor are not "smart" versions, so not bluetoothed.

When I watched the demo video by Jono it appeared that all devices connected by BT, WiFi, LAN or USB lead would populate in the "Local" devices list (see at 1:15 in the video).

I supposed that as my 2 regulators and battery monitor are linked by cable to the CCGX that they would appear in the "Local" list via my caravan's mobile router to VictronConnect on my iPad.
