Controlling Multiplus from VRM

I really want to control my Multiplus from VRM. I think I have several issues that may now allow this.

  1. BMV-712 connected to my Cerbo-GX
  2. Digital Multi Control 200/200A GX Remote Control Panel connected directly
  3. VE.BUS Bluetooth Smart dongle connected I believe to my Cerbo-GX

What do I need to change to allow me to control my Multiplus from VRM?

Ideally, I would also like to continue my use of the smart dongle so I can also control the Multiplus from VictronConnect.

I tried that and still doesn't work. But I get this error when I attempt to turn on my inverter: A real-time connection is not available right now. I also re-verified that I have the Inverter/Changer Control enabled in general settings.

As stated above when I wrote up this posting I still have this setup:

  1. BMV-712 connected to my Cerbo-GX
  2. VE.BUS Bluetooth Smart dongle connected I believe to my Cerbo-GX

Next steps?

Removing the Digital Multi Control didn't address the problem. What else can I try?

@mvader (Victron Energy) Can you chime in here? I haven't gotten anywhere with this.

Thanks!

Without realtime access the VRM controls will not be available.

So you need to make sure those are enabled and your internet connection can support that.
