Setting up a CERBO GX

Looking for some help.. I have a CERBO VX and the companion touch screen 50. OK.. It is connected to my WIFI and even did the latest update to ver. 2.72.. but the monitor still does not show any info.. battery, AC or solar input. It also shows as OFF on the main screen.. What am I not doing right..? cerbogx1.jpg cerbogx2.jpg

What's in the "Device list"?

What components do you have (besides Cerbo GX)? And are they connected properly to Cerbo?

A Xantrex or anyother third party inverter won't work, you need to have a Victron Inverter / MultiPlus or Quattro to connect to the CerboGX. With a Victron device here, then the blue box will show the AC Input and AC loads as measured by a MultiPlus or Quattro for example.

Kinda like their VE cables.. It's all proprietary stuff. Ugghh... Guess I'll start saving for a Multiplus, as I love it features..


Thanx..

Well.. I'm a happy camper today. The BMV 712 smart had enough cable to reach my controller.. then got it added as a device.. Now I can see the battery and solar info. WHAT IS the DC power..? It was up about 207w and fluctuating..?

Then I added a 3rd 400 watt panel up top. Now have 1200 watts of power. Hope the tilt is just right.
