BUG VRM processing for device type dcsource



img-20220719-092005.jpg


img-20220719-091901.jpgHi there, I have installed 2 identical shunts in my system that meet the data structure paths VRM / VenusOS requirements for the types dcload and dcsource.


Both are displayed and processed in VenusOS just fine, show the data and history, however while dcload is reported correctly to VRM, dcsource is not, it shows up as dcsource in the devices list along with the dcload, but in the Advanced menu for the widgets it is mis-listed as solar charger, you can only select summary for it and it is empty.

However, the data arrives in VRM properly, with the custom widget one can chart the data of the dcsource and create graphs for Voltage, Current and total Energy, so it seems to be an issue inside the widgets menu.

Please have a look, there is probably a bug in there somewhere. Tested dcsystem, same behavior, as they are synonymous for the same container according the documentation.

Paths for alternator and fuel cell would work somehow, but show less data than a regular shunt (no power, ...).
