Hello,
I run a Cerbo GX (VenusOS v3.73) with an ESS, 3 Phase Quattro-II 48/5000/70-2x50 , 2 x SmartSolar MPPT RS 450/200, PV and a ~30 kWh Pylontech battery. I integrated my openWB Series2 wallbox as an EV charger using the freakent dbus-mqtt-devices driver (v0.9.0). A Node-RED flow reads the openWB MQTT values and publishes them to the proxy. This works very well — power, current (L1), status, charged energy and session values all arrive correctly on the DBus and are displayed in VRM.
The problem: On my VRM Dashboard page there are two EVCS tiles — the active one (currently status charged, on the left side) and a second, dead one that just shows “EVCS 0 W”. I would like to remove this dead tile on the right side, connected to the ACout, it does not exist.
The dead tile is a leftover from my initial testing phase, where I registered the EV charger a few times under different names before settling on the final setup.
What I have already verified — the old device is genuinely gone, only VRM still remembers it:
-
Remote Console → Device list: only the current active device is shown. No ghosts.
-
settings.xml on the Cerbo: the old devices are not present there either.
-
dbus-spy: only one active evcharger service exists (
com.victronenergy.evcharger.mqtt_openWB_oWB), reporting live values.dbus-spy:
The only place the old devices still appear is under VRM → Advanced (widget/graph configuration), where two old EV chargers are listed as “last seen 3 months ago” — which seems to be why the dead tile persists on the dashboard.
I have already searched the community and tried the usual approaches, but there is no option to delete these stale sub-devices, and the normal “remove device” path does not apply (they are not in the device list).
My question: How can I permanently remove this stale EVCS entry so the dead tile disappears from my VRM Dashboard and only the active device remains? Is this something that can only be cleared server-side by Victron?
Thanks in advance for any help.
