Bug: VRM dashboard solar yield accumulating

Hi I just switched from lora to Global Link 520 as vrm gateway for my RV 150/100 and BMV. I deleted the old installations and created a fresh new one. The dashboard is showing wrong solar yield, it seems to be accumulating the orange bars. With the previous lora setup, I would get one orange bar per day with the correct daily solar yield.


The widgets on the advanced page look correct.


I WISH I was getting 26kWh from my 1000w array that outputs at best around 600w. And generating at 20:00 lol.

Yield on the dashboard is now correct a couple days later. Im guessing the issue was caused by stale or duplicate data in the db upon initializing a new installation with a delay in setting the timezone. Timezone was GMT when first adding GL520 to vrm, I noticed it was wrong and set it (to gmt-7) using Set Location some hours later.

Looks like the GL520 is rebooting quite frequently, this might explain the weird bars. Power is stable. Signal is around -78 to -80.


Anyone have an idea what might be causing it to restart every 30 min or so?

Does it not restart automatically when there is no signal for a period of time? Have you checked your connectivity?

Random reboots is unfortunately a known GL520 issue but it seems like Victron wont prioritize this!
