Hey guys,
I have a RPI3B+ with CCGX with 2.23~6 connected to 100/50 mppt, bmw-712 and a Phoniex Inverter 12v 1200VA. All updated to the latest firmware and connected via V.E. USB. I read victron’s page on the consumption but it was no help.
Can anyone help with this issue?
Also how can I show the AC loads on the CCGX screen?
Hi chamberwil. I have the same problem as you, so I looked it up and pasted the snip below. In my case my hardware starts with 24 so it looks as though I won't be able to see AC consumption unless I have read this incorrectly. Cheers Jon
Hi Jon, I literally got the issue sorted about thirty minutes after I asked the question. I was fiddling around with some settings and restarted the RPI and then boom I was read consumption on the VRM.
As for the AC load, I think that my Phoniex inverter doesn't output that type of data because it is not a Multi or a Quattro. I could be wrong.
@markus Now I see what you are talking about. I have consumption missing from my graph. I am not sure how to fix that problem? I will look under the topics .
I'm having the same issue.
It will randomly stop working and then start working.
Sometimes a reboot of the RPI will resolve but not this time.
Edit
Raspberry Pi 3 with connections Firmware version v2.23 VIA USB to:
BVM-700 Firmware version v3.08
BlueSolar Charger MPPT 100/50 rev2 Firmware version v1.37
I have a similar problem where the AC load does show on my phone VRM app - refer attached phone screen image. Any ideas why this is happening?
This is affecting me now with a rPi @markus
Hi @warwick,
please try following:
plug out your MK3 dongle from RPi and reboot.
After reboot, wait until first contact with VRM Portal, after first contact wait another few minutes and then connect the MK3 (and Multi) to the Pi again.
Please report if this brought back your VRM graphs.
Thanks,
Markus
I am not home for another month so I cannot do this. I did try reboot the Pi remotely and got a bar back:
I had Consumption showing on my RPI 3B+ system, and then it disappeared. Not sure why. I think there was a firmware update by VRM in this time frame, but I failed to note down the date.
Configuration
RPI 3B+ Venus OS 2.40-22
REC-ABMS for Victron GX CAN
The MultiPlus 12/3000/120-50 is still in shipping, so I have not connected that at all yet.
I do have the USB MK3 adaptor installed though, nothing attached to it.
Any ideas please?
P.S. Fantastic system VE guys!!
Same issues here.. had this for ages..
Multiplus 5kw, 3 x mppt 150/70

Anyone know how to go about getting a control board upgrade ? Or is this just victron pie in the sky nonsense.?
