two MPPTs in parallel - does the app account for this?

If I were to run 2 x 100/20 MPPTs in parallel, both for the charging to batteries AND for the load outputs, do they communicate together and comgine the data that appears in the victron app, namely the history, yield data and consumption data? or do I have to manually double the stats for actual charge/load figures?

Hi @adev and @Justin Cook - Bay Marine Supply USA,

The data is still mostly individual, but there is one new additional combined value, total network power;

Thanks for that. It would be really great if it could be made so you can set them up in the app as parallel pairs so the app will display the combined stats as if they are one. :)

Hi @adev,

The VictronConnect app will only display the pertinent information for the particular device to which you are connected, it will not combine the information from other devices.

yes that’s what I feared...

Would be nice if there were a way to do this...
