New VRM, Delete AC Input Icon

I´ve got an off-grid site with no normal AC input, just a generator.

Is it possible to remove the icon for AC Input and just keep the generator icon?

@Peter_A Can I ask when the Generator icon appeared? Did it come up the first time you started the Generator or was it there since the beginning?

The reason I ask is that I have a generator on ACIn1 but it hasn't been running since the new VRM portal update and it doesn't show on mine (yet).

Perfect, thanks for the feedback. I'll start the generator to see if it will pop up after some data collection.

@Ingo I think @Peter_A have a Quattro, not a Multi.
A Quattro has two AC inputs, one for grid and one for a generator.

I have an Easy Solar 12/1600/70, I´m quite sure it only has one AC input.

I have the same problem with both my systems.

One uses an Easy Solar 12/1600/70, the other one uses MultiPlus 12/1200/50.

Picture in VRM looks the same for both sites

@Matthias Lange - DE I didn't want to hijack Peter's thread but thought it strange that he has one Input only but two shows on VRM. I on the other hand have a Quattro with Grid and Generator but the generator hasn't run since the portal change and doesn't show (yet). I suspect it needs input before it's recoginised.

You can change the AC Input from Grid to Generator.

Go here:

Then it looks like that:

In VRM it looks like that:

My VRM says N/A and AC Loads is showing because I have a grid meter set as grid and I don't want to mess about too much with my production system. Maybe I can repeat this with my development system. I think it still demontrates that you can have one AC source box labelled as Generator.

I repeated this with my Development system.
I had exactly the same as you show above - both AC Input and Generator boxes (both showing N/A).
When I applied AC to the MultiPlus, then the AC Input box disappeared from VRM and now I just have Generator:

Unfortunately, when AC is switched off, the AC Input box returns:
