By ve bus cable are you referring to the one that looks like an ethernet cable?
Or the usb to ve direct cable like the one linked? https://www.victronenergy.com/cables/ve.direct.cable
If it is the latter the only info you will get through the pi is load info. And the inverter will always show as off. It does not have the same data as the ve bus inverters.
I ended up using the ve bluetooth adaptor on mine with victron connect for monitoring since the rest of the system was smart.
