Most likely you have a Mk3 plugged into the Multi. Unplug the Mk3....

You right, I have it pluged into the multi, but how I am to use VictronConnect, to see local devices, without MK3?

Also, can this "bocked" be a reason for holes in the graphs on VRM?

VictronConnect or VEconfig (<- in my opinion the better tool for programming) you only need for the programming after that you have to disconnect.
To monitor the Multi you can than use the GX device.

Ok, how can I see the vitals of my system without MK3 if Internet is disconnected?

The VRM and Remote Console are accessible through Internet.

Am I missing something?

The holes in the graphs on VRM are the result of me connecting MK3 to VE Bus?

Ok, I just noticed that the Remote Control is running of the LAN so Internet is not needed.

That's right, and it works much faster via lan. My MK3 is only ever used for Multi firmware upgrades, then it goes back into storage. To see the settings I'm using I save the latest VEConfig file and look at that offline.

Hello @MarekP, you would want to use a VE.bus Smart Dongle.
