Generator Input not showing on VRM Dashboard

I recently installed a Multiplus 5000VA 230V. On my AC Input I have the generator as my source. In my VenusOS settings I set the Generator as the power source for AC Input 1


On all my dashboards for the Venus OS it correctly recognizes the Generator power and displays the correct data. However on VRM that data is not being shown or reported? Any thoughts?

Under setting in your venus gX there is two ac inputs make AC 1 Generator and make AC2 not available I suspect you currently have it set to generator. then see if that fixes it. if not in the venus select the multiplus and then advanced and select re-detect.

then back into settings select general and then reboot,

Hopefully that will sort it for you.

make sure you have the latest venus firmware 2.60 as well

Hopefully that helps

Thank you for the response, AC1 was already set to generator, an AC2 was also set to not available. I told my Venus device to redetect the system, and rebooted it. I just turned my generator back on and it does not show up in VRM... Any ideas?

Nope, nothing yet. I upgraded to the 2.63 Venus firmware this morning, i've meant to run my generator to see if it displays. I'll try that tomorrow
