My Setup : MPPT, Multiplus Compact 12/2000/80-30, Venus OS 2.6, RPI 3B+
(But in the case the RPi bit is irrelevant.)
Others have already noticed that they occasionally see phantom AC loads figures with no AC loads connected. In my case the MP Compact is currently in charger only mode so can't have any power going out to AC.
Would it be possible to display AC loads "OFF" on the VRM and Console to reflect the current setting on the Multiplus?
- For the VRM this would be an [OFF] box over the feed to the AC loads. Similar to the [Storage] box in the view below.
- For the console it could be that the 0W is changed to "OFF" when AC out is disabled.
USE CASES:
1) On boats and RVs it would be far more easy to see the console than the state of the switch on the Multiplus (currently buried at the back of my electric cupboard).
2) You could easily check remotely - did I remember to switch of the AC output when I left the boat?
3) Easy for non technical people who use our boat to see why the fridge is not working!
4) No phantom AC load values
