Connection issue Lynx Distributor via Lynx Shunt to Cerbo

We completed our Victron installation and it runs very nice!: 3 Victron Gel batteries via the Lynx Distributor and Lynx Shunt connected to the Cerbo. I do have our Shunt available in the Cerbo, so the VE.Can connection does work, but I expect also my Distributor to be visible. The cable connection between Distributor and Shunt looks good, but I do not see a device visible in the Cerbo. On the other (right-)side of the Shunt I do have two more Distributors with Solar and Board-network. I do not see these either. The info on a generic level (total inflow of Amps and outflow) is not a problem. Also the temperature sensor of the battery works fine via the Shunt in the Cerbo display. But I would like to see the distributor with its individual batteries and solar panels too. Hope somebody can help. Thanks in advance!!

That’s not possible with the Lynx Shunt.
The Lynx Shunt doesn’t transmit the fuse status to the GX device.
It can only monitor it’s own fuse.

Hi Matthias, thanks for your answer! Is there an alternative? Would it be possible to connect the Distributors directly to the Cerbo? Or info directly from the gel battery towards the Cerbo?

If I remember correctly there was an unofficial hack to read out the distributor.
Try to use the search function.
