Ev charger software and connection

Hi there,
I have a victron ess system and it is controlled by Cerbo gx, no issues working perfectly.
Last week i up graded the software /gui.
Since then i purchased a victron ev charger and for love non money, i cannot get it to see the cerbo. I think it is due to the software on the ev charger…
Any suggestions

I presume the EV charger is Victron as well, correct?
If yes, are both on the same Wi-Fi network?
can you post a picture with the configuration page on the EVCS?
Can you tell me the portal ID of your system, so I can take a look?

The firmware version of the EV charger is v1.23/4.2

The firmware of the Cerbo is v3.52 2

My vrm ID is

I have reverted back the EV to a standalone, so I can charge the vehicle, but it would not charge due to a SOC issue…

Can I arrange a call with you for later

Please update the EVCS fw to the latest version, it is very old. And, we can have a look if necessary.

Hi Lucina,

Great, I have updated the EVCS firmware and now, it can see/talk to the Cerbo GX.

Another, question

How do I get to see the EVCS on my dashboard,

Currently on the vrm dash board, I see the following

Does it take a while to transfer across

I wish to be able to control/schedule the EVCS from the VRM

Thanks in advance,

Good, do you see the EVCS on the GX interface?
If yes, just wait, it should appear in VRM.
