Hi, I’m missing the information if there are PV inverters connected on AC out (1 or 2) and they send energy back to the grid or to the battery, this should be presented as negative W or in the same way as it is presented as energye coming or send to the grid. Now when sending energy from AC out to the multiplus it is just a value 0 what is not correct
Hi that is by design. Showing negative numbers also has disadvantages. The best solution is to get your PV Inverter output measured. Either by direct connection or by adding an energy meter for it.
I monitor all my PV installations via Home assistant so it is not to get an idea what the inverters produce but more to get a more live view on the energy flows. A value of 0 is not correct.
Hi,
Updated
x2 Venux GX Large Version all seem OK
x1 Cerbo MK I all seems OK but perhaps some node red flow to review !!! (one gauge sometime give a wrong value, in fact 2 value of the gauge are inverted every X seconds)
x1 Ekrano, after the update reboot I lost the Pheonix VE-Direct connected inverter… after the second reboot, it came back ! Node red seems to look OK with the feature I use.
Perhaps I still need to review all my Red node to be more accurate try t do it ASAP.
For the Ekrano, it was alreday the case previously but here the trick :
This system use a 1200VA phoenix Ve-direct invert + an ET112 on “shore” input.
If the shore is detected, a transfer switch is replacing the phoenix inverter output.
so here what I can see on the Ekrano Overview screen :
But the Brief screen if showing this :
and the VRM
Some wronf settngs on my setup or else ?

For my setup with AC PV connected to both AC-IN and AC-OUT using 3 fase MPII5000s the Settings > Debug & Develop > System Data screen shows my AC-IN connected PV on ACIn2 instead of ACIn1.
Being an MP2 user I guess I’m short the extra AC input to begin with

Someone was kind enough to move this post to “missing PV inverter information” but I am not missing PV inverter information. Both my PV inverters show up just fine and report just fine.
All I am saying is that in de Debug & Develop menu, the numbers for PV inverter on AC-In show up under AC-In2. And the MP2 does not even have AC-In2.
The Multi is a Quattro with only ACin2 connectors.
At Quattro ACin1 is used for genset and ACin2 for grid.
Thats why you have only ACin2 at your Multi.
Sounds like a reasonable explanation. But it does not make it any less confusing. Cannot be that hard to interpret the ve-bus device and display something that translates properly to the devicetype. Unless you connect another ve-bus-usb device for use with quattro at the same time?
Agreed that it probably does not categorize as a bug. So let’s trash my earlier comments
Many thanks for your explanation!
Hey. Maybe I moved these posts by accident.
Sounds like its all explained/sorted; and anyway that debug menu is of no concern to me now.
Have a good weekend.
Explained yes. Sorted… maybe. Other menus in Venus do explicitly state AC-in1, not AC-in or AC-in2.
So as much as I like the explanation using other device types that support a generator. It’s still inconsistent. And agreed, works like a charm no prio on a debug menu
