Cerbo GX and Node-RED via Venus OS Large: dashboard functions?

Dear Victron-users,

I recently bought a Cerbo GX with touchscreen and after a few days of tweaking I decided I want more, for example a custom dashboard. Installing Venus OS Large was the best solution I was told so I installed it on the Cerbo and activated Node-RED. Via the URL and the specific port I can access Node-Red and put instances on the grid with connections etc. But..... that's where it stops for me ;-). I cannot create a custom dashboard. On all the YouTube films I watched, I see in the left column a submenu "dashboard" with for example gauges etc. but I don't see this menu and when I go to URL/ui I get a error there isn't a GUI. Can someone help me a little bit forward?

Kind regards,

Pim

You need to add the dash board Node... Search the web about managing the palette and adding nodes

Thnx, will check this tomorrow. By the way, I suppose I will manage to design a dashboard and make it visible on a webpage but how will it become visible in the Cerbo GX?

Unfortunately it won’t. You will have to access from an external device

That's a pitty.... I hoped to make a custom dashboard to add as an extra dashboard visible in the Victron touch screen but now I understand it's only browserbased / VRM-based. Thanks for you information!
