How do I make the tank level appear on the VRM Dashboard?

Hi, I have added a tank sensor to the Cerbo GX and it shows up in the remote console. It doesn't appear in the Dashboard page of the VRM? It appears in the device list and I can see it in the Advanced page. Any help would be appreciated.

As I have said in a past post Tank and tempature info they CAN NOT BE added to the dashboard of the VRM at this stage, victron may add it at some other point thats upto them but there is no way to display this at the moment to the best of my knowledge on the dashboard of the vrm.

UPDATED 22nd Dec

I stand corrected as this data can now be added to the VRM dashboard

Thanks Paul, reason I was asking is I can see on the victron website a post that shows a new dashboard launched by victron and it shows tank levels. Does anyone know if this can be done?

well by the info you have provided the dashboard has now been modified to include this so thanks for that info, as I was not aware of it being added,


as to how, well the manuals say its automatic, so you will just have to dig around untill you find out, turn on items in services and IO until you get it working. I have not got any sites that are using the tank data, so I cant test it out for you.


Anyway have you configured the the sender thats in the device list and selected the correct PGN ie fluid settings etc. if this is not configured then i may not be showing because of that

Yesterday , I setup our own in house system and added a tank sender and I could also NOT not find a way to to get the VRM dashboard to display the newly added tank. I am resurrecting this further for my own interest and will advise if I find out how,

from the manual it is suppose to just appear on the VRM once it becomes active

Hi @Paul B,

I think there's still a bug somewhere. For me it's showing 5 tanks, although I only have one.
