Venus without a Multi/Quatro

I'm working on a system that may end up using a Phoenix inverter rather than a MultiPlus due to cost and size constraints. Venus devices (Cerbo, CCGX, etc) are inverter-centric and there's a large portion of the U/I that simply doesn't apply to a system like that: AC in/out and inverter tiles all will be blank.

First: Is it true Venus doesn't communicate with Phoenix VE.Direct inverters?

I realize that the blank tiles could simply be ignored (or hidden by changing code which I could do), but is there a better solution to a central monitoring and control for a system with solar and batteries? This is an RV so there would be a DC system as well.

No thats not true. Inverter will show ok in the device list.


The missing bit is proper visualisation on the system overview. Which is not good that its missing; and we’ll fix it asap - but asap is a bit “rekbaar” in this case.
