App Request / Suggestion

I've been using the VRM app on iOS and it's great but I was wondering if it would be possible to produce a more stripped down focused version that just displays the Remote Console from a Venus OS device. You should be able to configure it so it will always display a default remote console on first start rather than having to choose the installation then select remote console. This could then be used to create display panels using tablets or phones.

If you could add support for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto then it would open the possibility to display the remote console on in-vehicle displays which would be a fantastic level of integration for installers.

Cheers

Jim

Good news ahead for you.

Victron has been working on the next generation of app and vehicle integration.

You can find out more by visiting us at METS for the big launch ðÂÂÂ

Or there is Development work going on here:

There is also a bit of a sneak peak of what is possible on the blog.

You can do a workaround in the meantime: If your router on site supports VPN connections, you can set up an VPN connection from Android/iOS and connect to the network. Then connect to the IP Adress of your Venus device via browser.

You can use a Fortinet Fortigate Firewall (for example) for this, there is a Wizard for Android/iOS IPSec VPN connections. Those can be set up very easy. Supporting the native VPN client in those OS.

I would also find it very helpful to use the remote SSH via VRM, as a future feature...

Markus

Cheers for the feedback. The node / html5 app looks very promising. I'll see if I can package it up to run as an Android app. I don't fancy spending £1k on an MFD.
