Is it possible to visualize temperature sensors on the new VRM dashboard?

Very nice with the new VRM dashboard. Really love it, but temperature sensors are still missing. Any plans for adding that feature, and is there any way I can add temperature sensors myself to the dashboard? Just some simple indicators or scorecard showing name of sensor and temperature would suffice.

High hopes for this feature. It would complete the current dashboard.

But isn't that in battery details? I have sensors showing tempereatur in engine room, cockpit, below deck and others. Hence seperate fields would be nice.

Are those sensors connected to GX device?

In that case, they should be on the dashboard.

It will not show on the Dashboard as you indicated in your request. It will only show as a widget, once added, to the Advanced page.

Any plans to add that feature to the dashboard? And is it possible to send issues / feature request to Victrons dev team?

@Teun Lassche (Victron Energy Staff) will see this.

Battery temp also isn't shown if it comes from a Multiplus sensor.

@Pete0141

Each MP-II comes with the temperature sensor.

I connected it to the T-sense terminal on MP-II.

This is all I did.

Where are your sensors connected back to? The cerbo? As an input ?
