New VRM bug - solar value stuck when there is no sun ?

Hi everybody ! Thanks ro the developpers for the new VRM presentation, it is very interesting. I may have found some bugs related to the power. At around 06h00 there is NO SUN, so no solar power available. Here we can see that the Total Solar and PV Inverter (ET112) have the same values.


And the OFF status of the MPPT & Power produced :

Thanks, Michel

All cases mentioned above should be fixed, that is:


- Stuck values
- Installations mentioning realtime while they are not realtime

@dennis That is because you have two way communication disabled, see: https://www.victronenergy.com/live/vrm_portal:dashboard

same Same here!

It seems the Values stuck at a point of time.

If i press F5 several times, it will change to the correct actual values (e.g. 15% SOC is correct). But after a few seconds or new F5 it will show the stuck values.

@Teun Lassche (Victron Energy Staff)

The Values seems to be correct, but realtime is not working anymore. To refresh the values, i have to press F5. Is that correct? What do i have to do, to get realtime back?

@Teun Lassche (Victron Energy Staff) Can you check my case also, please?

My VRM ID is 9c1d58390769

The values in PV Inverter, grid, AC Load and Charging are not updated as before. They remain locked to the last value since the page was opened. To update I have to press the F5 key

Historical Data is OK

I marked in red the data that is not updated

@Teun Lassche (Victron Energy Staff) Below you have the same page, at 13:04 and at 15.36. Historical data is updated but the graphics are not.

Before the VRM new interface the graphics were updated as normal.

I really like where this is going, nice work.

Another bug or not? I also see the ability to remotely configure your system via VEconfig has also disappeared from the devices tab

I think this is because on the Grid we can have negative values.

In case of the other values they can only be positive.
If they set the trend horizontally the cell would probably become too crowded.

It's indeed because you feed power back to the grid (it won't fit if we put that graph horizontally)
