I presume you are using the victron AC current sensor but these have dipswitchs to set ???? and you have then added the assistant.

note that its a AC sensor not DC

if its connected correctly etc then it takes 24 hrs to calibrate itself


this is a bit of a guess as I am not sure what you are refering to really, if I am wrong then please post a diagram of your install and some more info in your description to fully explain what and how you are connecting it . even some pictures would be helpfull

I sorted it out.

By putting the sensor in the temp in socket you just move the internal current sensor outside. I wanted to measure the pv current. I was doing it wrong.

I ordered the wrong current sensor i guess.
