WS500 + Cerbo

I have a new install w/ Cerbo+ Lynx+Victron smart batteries and WS500, using DVCC. Firmware is all current.

The WS500 system indicates it’s under remote control (ie the Cerbo and I can see house data on the WS500 controller, but the WS500 does not show up in the Cerbo device list. Ideas?

Connected to the VE Can port on the Cerbo, both empty ports fitted with terminators, both devices set to 250kbs, NMEA2000 set to yes on the WS500.

The WS500 to Victron guide states if you use the BMS Can ports you will not read the WS500.

I'll dig into it a bit further. The Cerbo and WS500 are connected via VE Can ports with terminators and appropriate bridge cable - have not checked the settings you mention

@Chipj Does the lynx BMS show on the Cerbo GX. When you say that the Wakespeed is not showing is this on the overview page or the device list. The Wakespeed will never show on the overview page, as per below.

Only on the device list that looks like this

If you message me privately and give me access to your VRM Portal I can take a look for you.
