Hi Lief. No it can't directly - yet. But as a CCGX owner you should give it some www for the full experience of the VRM portal. Highly recommended..

Once there, click on 'Remote VEConfigure', download the configuration file, modify it, then send it back. Job done, it works fine, even though the data has to go halfway round the world & back. I use a laptop on a coffee table, and a comfortable chair. :)

Firmware upgrades for the Multi is different, but a separate issue..

I can't help with your Pylons, but you've seen this? https://www.victronenergy.com/live/battery_compatibility:pylontech_phantom Actually just google 'victron pylontech' for a lot of leads. Could just be something like a missing CAN terminator? But it'll be sortable. Just make sure the Pylon is talking, rather than accepting available V from the mppt willy nilly. I don't even know if that's possible, ha.

Good luck too.

thanks for your reply, i didn't know it could be done through VRM, i don't have any internet on site (being off grid and remote)

i have read the pylontech compatibility doc, i have set the bulk, absorb and float voltages on the mppt (i could do that through the CCGX) so that should be ok, i'm not actually using the charger section of the multiplus yet so again that should be fine for now, but i think that the default setting is for gel batteries at a higher voltage so i will need to change it at some point, i might add a generator for winter months with low light..


thanks again.

Your mppt settings will have been done via bluetooth, over a phone, hey? If via CCGX, I'll be asking you for help to do that myself.. :)

And if your phone can talk to us from that remote location, then www is usually possible. Accepted though that you may not be there right now.
