Hi @Alexis Kalogerakis; with the current firmware version you’ll see something. But not all yet. I dont known what does and doesn’t work, sorry.

The good news is that its part of the next major release, v2.30, to have 100% proper functionality in there for the VE.Direct inverters.

Hello,

here my configuration :

Here what I can read from the Venus interface :

So from the main screen the system is not showing the inverter an his activity. Is it normal. Do I miss some settings or is it related to your previous answer ?

Best regards

Xavier

I found this question and answer, whilst wanting to pose my own query.

I'd like to add an existing Phoenix inverter ( that has a PV inverter on its AC out ) to an existing ESS Quattro scheme, that will also have PV inverters on AC out. ( The AC sides are independent the phoenix being off-grid and the Quattro being on-grid, however all inverters are off the same battery).

All inverters and Venus are running the latest firmware.

Will I see both on VRM now?

I am not in a position to check for myself for several months.
