remote device control

good morning everyone, I recently installed a Victron system with various components including the Smart shunt. I would like to be able to change the parameters (SOC alarm activation percentage) even when I am remote and therefore not in Bluetooth. Does a system already exist or do I need to install other third-party components? thank you all.

You need to have a monitoring device installed that runs the Victron Venus OS such as a Victron Cerbo GX or Victron Ekrano GX or for a more DIY approach a Raspberry Pi with Venus OS installed. All your components connect to this monitoring device, which then connects to your router or use the Victron GX LTE 4G cellular modem. You can then connect remotely from your phone using the VE Connect app.

The monitoring device then needs to be configured as per Section 7 of the Cerbo GX manual.

Excuse my being pedantic but as far as I know, "VE Connect" app doesn't exist. There is the "VRM" app and the "VictronConnect" app which also has a VRM page.

Which did you mean ?
