question

Matthijs,

A few visual bugs with tank displays. The bugs are not consistent often needing a Cerbo reboot to correct any changes in display setting s.

Randomly the fill bar does not appear on a tank or several tanks, note black water at 27%. This has occurred viewing gui2 through VRM and on the Cerbo GX Touch. Screenshots taken a few minutes apart.

Secondly, when choosing to display the tank volume on the brief page rather than % I see a different behaviour. On GX touch it displays the % value with  l for lires but on VRM it displays the volume value correctly. However, on VRM it shows the black water tank in alarm when displayed as a volume, it is <30% but for black water alarm should be >70%, also the fresh water and fuel tank bars are wrong. When displayed as % the correct bar length and colours are seen.

I had an overload and over temperature shutdown occur. I never heard an alarm go off, despite 'audible' being turned on. Is there a bug in GUI-v2 and/or Beta (3.40-x) that would stop the audible alarm from going off or is there something else that I need to do to enable it? I looked in VRM and I ran for nearly two hours under high temp, yet never heard a peep. What am I doing wrong? The Cerbo is in another compartment and if it was making a noise I would never have heard it. I expected the GX Touch to make the alarm noise. Am I wrong? Where should the sound come out of?

Also, I think a blinking red screen would be a great way to get the attention of someone, instead of just a little notification indication. I would love to see an option under 'audible' called 'visual' that you could enable that would cause the screen GX Touch to ALARM! between white and red backgrounds (RED 'ALARM!' on black background for 1 second, then BLACK 'ALARM!' on white background for 1 second, repeat until screen is touched to acknowledge). This would REALLY help it stand out just in case the audible doesn't work (like in my case) or for our hearing impaired citizens.

I suggest when the 'audible' is turned on, to trigger the alarm sound so someone can test to make sure it is sounding like it should. I have no idea what it sounds like because I've never heard it.

Hi Matthijs @mvader (Victron Energy)

Could you also please add for the Multi RS the (real) ActiveSoC ?

I've saw that this value is reported on the CAN bus on Victron register 0xD03A, but with 0.01 resolution instead of 0.1 resolution like the others.

So, I believe (and please excuse me if this supposition is wrong) that won't be too much of a problem to map it to a Modbus register.

Thank you!

Alex

Nice idea to make one gauge per phase.

But I can't understand the ranging. L1 is about -2kW L2 is -4kW and L3 is -6kW.

Two Gauges moving downwards.

Representing three AC-PVs and two mppts. But not visible which Gauge represents AC and which DC. At screenshot DC should be 6kW and AC is 10kW.

A smal bug and a question:

In the menu of the Energy Meter (EM 540 in my case), the menu item “Setup” (to set the role as a grid meter) cannot be called up. It works perfectly in the old gui.

Can the values displayed in the new Gui for the “totalized solar power” and the “totalized consumption” be called up directly in registers, or do they have to be calculated by an external script if I want to read out these values?

There´s a mistake at "short-page":

The shown "LPG" doesn´t exist :)

Couls you please add:

1. Change Tanks/ Temperature (sequence)
2. Show more details (Currant, Voltage) at "Overview" for Solar- like at battery

Mion

1. mir ist aufgefallen das der Orion xs keine Daten aufzeichnet. Dadurch ist keine Verlauf Verfolgung möglich.

2. wie man hier sieht wird der Wert vom Solar nicht in amper dargestellt alle anderen wert wurden von Watt auf amper umgestellt

Updated from 3.40~2 to 3.40~8 on my MultiRS hybrid system

gui-v2 placement is not centered ( do not recall it was reported or not )

Scroll artifacts - UX

Node-RED 3.1.8 works, no issues with my flow

I can see MinSocLimit via Node-RED dbus driver

Other updates, related to MultiRS not visible just yet
Thank you @mvader (Victron Energy) - I'm excited to see MultiRS progress

In the Solardetailpage there is still an inconsistency in presentation. For DC, today's yield is displayed in Wh and for AC, the long-term yield is displayed in kWh or MWh. That is confusing.

And for the three Phase inverters (4th and 5th entry) some values are missing.

Connected to one of the digital inputs on my Cerbo GX I have a room thermostat, so that I can get warnings if the room with the equipment in gets to hot. Since moving over to the GUI V2 this device has disappeared from the device list.

With 3.40~10, details of solar (MQTT Solar) are not seen any more :(

(ist not possible to scoll more up :)

With MQTT Battry it works fine :(

VRM seems not be updating in real time since updating to v3.40~10. I have rebooted my Cerbo GX. But that has not resolved the issue.

Inverter mode selection in gui-v2 (from overview drill down and also device list) has Charger only and Inverter only grayed out. It's been this way since the beginning and reported before but still an issue in v3.40~10.

Multiplus Compact, Cerbo GX

Both local and WASM gui-v2. In gui-v1, all 4 options (On, Off, Charger Only, Inverter Only) appear in / Device List / Multi... and work properly.

Hello

I found two bugs in GuiV2. Maybe already mentioned somewhere but better twice than not mentioned:

Not all ESS settings are visible in GUIV2. (Max laadvermogen is missing)

In system-setup when I change "Heeft DC systeem" the setting is not saved.

In GuiV1 it is.

If these bugs are known please ignore this message

Hello,

Both VRM and gui V2, it show Ac loads and DC power, but AC loads are in Watts only:

Phoenix Inverter is not reporting in W:

while Multiplus does:

As the effect of that the overview and all charts are off by power usage from phoenix, in that case off by 100W:

While I understand that VA and W are not the same thing, in many usages we can just ignore the difference for simple overview purposes. If it is not possible to display W, can we at least have toggle "consider VA as W"? It will be much closer on graphs anyway than ignoring it like it is now.

after the weekend I noticed that my bluetooth sensors (ruuvi, mopeka) are not showing, tried to restart, upgraded fw to v3.40~10 - but no joy. then tried to disable Bluetooth, hoping that could reset someting, but noticed that you cannot disable Bluetooth. if you do that and go back, then check - it's again showing as on:
Back and open Bluetooth again and it is still on:
I'm not on site, so cannot physically inspect LEDs. but looks like a bug, hence reporting here.

My Android tablet is not loading UI V2, it is been stuck at this screen for 30 minutes.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

@mvader (Victron Energy) am running the latest beta and liking the Beta GUI, especially the overview page. The one request I would have is a small change in how it handles boxes for sources that come and go.

would it be possible for the source boxes to be sticky? I have a wakespeed WS500 in my system, and it’s a little annoying that it just disappears. It might be nicer if it were to still be displayed, but as “off” or some such. My multiplus continues to display on the screen when it’s off, so this wouldn’t be unprecedented.

I'm running Cerbo GX and after updating to beta then reverting back to 3.31 remote console no longer works when away from home but works fine locally.

It looks like DVCC is not working.

I've set it to 53.3V, but my MPPTs are still charging to the locally defined setpoint.

I am using a Lynx shunt with my battery, no Can-bus BMS. No ESS.

I just installed v3.40~13.
Very cool that the color of the graphs on the grid now changes from blue for consumption to green for feed-in!
But the length of the graphs is not yet consistent. In the screenshots below, L1 is the longest line, but the smallest value regardless of whether it is green or blue. Conversely, L3 is the shortest line with the largest measured value.
Could you perhaps put zero in the middle and have the graphs for feed-in point downwards and consumption point upwards?

I discovered another bug in GUI V2.
On the DVCC page it's displayed automatically set 'none', although in reality and in GUI V1 'Pylontech Battery' is correctly set and displayed.

Small translation error.
Autorange for measured value scaling is not “Autoreichweite” in German but “Autoskalierung”.

Maybe a 'copy and paste' error in translation.

If you click the Reset range values button, a message “Reset access point” appears in german.

No units are mentioned on the Minimum and Maximum Ranges page.

And Units apparently used in different ways? And why so many decimal places?

And some are called 'power' and others are called 'current'. That's confusing.

V3.40~13 is still throwing a few inconsistent bar charts for the levels on both web view and the Cerbo touch 50 but improved from ~8.

One new thing that I noticed compared to the current version is that it will show its own block for the alternator charging to the battery that is being monitored.

My question is this. Is this somehow autodetected as charge being put into the system from the DC load or does this require a victron orion XS in order to have this block operate as intended?

If no orion XS is needed, are there any special things that need to be done to monitor the alternator charge on the battery?

Hello,

I have four questions/improvements:

1 Question)

I just updated my RPI4 from VenusOS 2.92 to the newest v3.40~13. I tried the new GUI via Remote Console http://[IP]/gui-beta. Works fine. Going to my RPI4 with it's 5,5" display and try to enable the new GUI, but under Settings -> Display&Language there is no selection for Display UI.. When I try the same via Remote Console under http://[IP]/gui-beta I have the possibility to select it. So I'm currently not able to enable the new GUI on my screen in the camper van. Did I miss there something?

2 Improvement)

I would propose an improvement. I have two tank sensors for fresh and waste water attached and two Ruuvi sensors (one inside, one outside of the van) via bluetooth. When I go to the overview page on the beta GUI via Remote Console there are charts for Battery, Fresh and Waste Water. Currently I don't see a possibility to get the temperature information on the overview page visualized or? Would it be possible to add the displaying of the temperatur information there?

If I go to the Levels tab, there I have the information regarding temperatur available.

Under Settings -> Display&Language -> Brief view levels there is also no option to add temperature sensors.

This was really nice with GuiMods before, to have a nice overview for two tank and two temperatur information.

3 Improvement)

Selecting the Multiplus II inverter mode or Shore current limit is somehow much more of an effort than before with GuiMods. I have to press 4 times compared to before just 2 times.

Before: Click on Multiplus Icon -> Select Inverter Mode -> done

Beta GUI: Click on Multiplus Icon or Icon in the upper left -> Click on the current Mode -> Select the Mode -> Click on the Set -> done

Regarding the statement that the Beta GUI is more touch screen friendly I find this much more touch "unfriendly" than before with GuiMods.

4 Improvement)

The Brief view levels are looking really cool, but I find them to be not to practical in the respect that the information beside the bars, e.g. Battery 96% is way to small especially if you are using it on some small display, e.g. 5" screen. The Solar yield or Loads information is much more present and prominent to be read than the others. Sometimes a little bit less fancy things, are much more user friendly :-) For sure I can go to the other tabs to see more information, but I like it simple.

Nevertheless thank you for this nice work, it really looks sick and has potential to be much more user friendly than before.

Thanks, Tobias

Since the gui-beta scales nicely I have a request.

Is it possible to open the gui-beta (by url) directly in the overview page instead of brief page?

Maybe something like http://192.168.2.100/gui-beta/#overview

I am using the gui-beta URL embedded in my home assistant and I would like to see the overview page by default instead of the brief page.

gui-v2 dialog that selects inverter mode is showing Charger only and Inverter only grayed out and not selectable. The only selections permitted are off and on.

This problem was reported fairly early in gui-v2 beta testing but still exists in the version included in v3.40~13.

My system uses a Multi Compact 120v unit. All 4 selections are shown and function in gui-v1 and also in GuiMods. Tested this without any third party mods just to be sure there is no interaction.

I've noticed this problem in gui-v2 both locally and on a computer calling up the WASM version.

Can I get some acknowledgement that this is being worked on please?

I like to raise the suspicion that since addition of Dynamic ESS feature in GX the setgrid support does not work that good anymore than it was before. During a day with sufficient PV production and battery supply now I have a grid usage of min 4kWh (sometimes even up to 7kWh), whereas before it was between 0,1kWh and 0,5kWh!
Settings on my side have not changed.
During daytime setgrid ist set to -60W, during night to -20W.

Example now
You see that there was sufficient PV supply even allowing P2H usage. Don't be detracted by SOC. I limit typcially max charge SOC at 80%.

System overview graph

Grid consumotion graph:

Example before Dynamic ESS
In that case similar pattern, but grid usage is typically between 0,1kWh and 0,5kWh per day, in fact 10-times higher

I would appreciate, if you coudl return your algorithms back to the accuracy, they had before!

I have installed a new sensor for water using a Tank GX 140. Under I/O Devices Analog I can switch on and off the channels of the Tank GX but there is no automatic saving of the adjustment. At the end I can not switch on or off a channel from the Tank GX 140. As a work around I did reboot the Cerbo GX under version 3.31 and make the adjustment without problems.

I am running firmware 3.140~13 and VRM DESS in trade mode.

I noticed a DANGEROUS issue!

DESS sometimes doesn't not obey/respect the ESS max discharge/discharge power settings!

Today I set the ESS max charge and max discharge values using two node red flows.

The reason for this is the humming noise of the MP during nighttime

• One flow for daytime (both max discharge and charge settings to 2400) 8:00~21:00
• One flow for nighttime (both max discharge and charge settings to 1000) 21:00~8:00

In the next figure (AC-Input Power) you can see that it sometimes exceeds (with >3500W) the 2400W several times during daytime.

I have a energy meter at the ac-in side of the MP and this meter shows the same results.

When I disable DESS and run ESS only I don't see this behavior. The limits are obeyed.

I have a few questions:

1. Does anybody experience the same behavior?
2. I assume the 3500W peeks are coming from the AC-Input limit of 16A (in my case) Could somebody from victron confirm this?

Thanks for any feedback

I have a 500A smart shunt, connected to a Cerbo GX, configured as a DC Energy Meter. This shunt is monitoring the output of my solar charger. When I look at the history in the GUI-v2 there appears to be no data. If I monitor the shunt in VRM the shunt appears to be showing the correct live readings.

Has anyone else come across the same issue?

I have connected a smartshunt and a 123BMS, and although the smartshunt is selected as the battery monitor in the system settings, the information from the 123BMS is used, which is clearly visible because the SOC is different.
