Have you found a solution to this? I would also like to customise the track names for my MPPT 450/200.

Hi,

same Problem here.
C'ant change names of different trackers. I have two RS450/200 and 8 different Trackers named with #1, #2, #3 and #4. Thats not very cleverly implemented. See picture added.

Any suggestions to solve this or is a software update planned to add this feature?

To mange this i had to keep a separate List.

It makes no sense for me to to install additional MPPT RS devices until this problem is not fixed for me otherwise it ends in chaos.

Very grateful for any help.
thanks in advance.

Kind regards
Marc

Hi all,

This is a known feature request, on the list for some time now.

The RS team has a big challenge to prioritise which new features to work on. I know their priority right now is to work on support for parallel and 3 phase support for Multi RS.

I hope the tracker labels can get some attention after that.

The inability to name individual trackers on multiple controllers gets very confusing I hope this problem can be addressed soon

I understand and agree, I'll follow it up with the RS team again.

I have reminded the developers, it is on their feature requests list, and some technical considerations have been worked out.


It will be added, but I have no timeframe. The RS team has a very high workload right now.

You can name the device as "1:east 2:west 3:south 4:whatever"

Hi,

We have just released a public beta test that allows you to rename individual MPPT trackers in RS devices. You will need to be running firmware v1.16 on your RS device, and VictronConnect v6.00beta10 or later.

If you would prefer to wait, it should be included in VictronConnect v6.00. You can subscribe to receive an email notification when that is released here - https://professional.victronenergy.com/news/

Ukrainian translation seems like 4+ months old on this 6 beta

Renaming of trackers is not reflected in stable VRM nor betaVRM

If you remove numbers after decimal point - they would fit most likely

Installed new firmware, TestFlight etc.

While renaming the trackers the app crashed.

New tracker names visible in Connect and on the RS display itself but not visible on VRM.

Also aggregaat (Dutch) is not well sized on VRM, this picture is from iPhone:

Silly question: How did you get the trackers renamed? Cerbo and RS device on the latest update but I'm unable to find any prompt to change the names... Thanks!

Victron Connect, go to settings, solar and rename the trackers.

I then went to Remote Console, and renamed the device to: MPPT.

In VRM you will see: MPPT + the name of tracker.

Hi developers,

@Guy Stewart (Victron Community Manager) , @Thiemo van Engelen (Victron Energy staff)

Thank you for introducing the trackers renaming even since VictronConnect 5.104

But please, in the next release version, can you include in the setting's saving process the names of the trackers?

Now when you save the settings the new names are not saved and respectively restored.

Thank you for your efforts,

Alex
