question

I would say it is not shown because there is simply no space on the screen for that.

Normally you have DC-loads only in a RV or boat or in a off-grid system.
In such systems you don't have the green "AC loads" tile and the Multi is at that place so there is more space in the lower middle.

That would be an easy answer :-)

Maybe Victron can optimize the icon size in the future. A litte more space is left on the right so rearrange.

Thanks!

Hi,

this is a known issue. If you select an external energy meter in ESS menu, the DC tile is not shown. Not in the GUI and not on VRM.

Developers are aware, I hope there will be a fix soon.

Do you know if it has been fixed in any firmware? Now I have 2.73 in the cerbo because it is the last one compatible with the bms JBD and its driver.

Hi!

Two years later and I stumbled across this post, because I have the same issue. Added a Smartshunt to measure DC loads, but no symbol shown on the screen. The Cerbo runs on 3.10, so no hope it will get fixed in near feautre.

Also in VRM, there is enough space, but no additional widget there, too:

Assume this is a bug rather than an feature. This way, I bought my smart shunt for nothing as it cannot display anything in the dashboard.

Same question multiple times in this forum but no answers:

Hello Victron, Installations with additional DC grids are our close future to solve many problems not only for camping vehicles. Therefore are many good reasons to introduce DC loads in the dashboard

I also came across this post after being unable to see the DC box . Out of curiosity i checked the GUI- V2 ( beta) and am happy to report that in GUI V2 the DC box shows. an unexpected benefit

But I have to sacrifice the visual representation of PV inverter and SmartSolar separation
