Fontaine Pajot smart cruising app (Garmin onehelm) change battery device

Q&A and troubleshooting

Hi all,

I would like to change the battery summary displayed in the smart cruising app (Garmin onehelm app by Fontaine pajot).

Originally the battery summary info is provided by means of a smartshunt in front of the AGM batteries. Now we have upgraded to lithium I would like to use the info provided by the REC BMS.

The cerbo communicates via CAN with the BMS. REC BMS is the only ‘visible’ source of information, others are hidden. REC BMS is also incharge of the DVCC, so all runs well on the victron/cerbo side. Remote console/ VRM displays the correct information.

It seems the smart cruising app works via ethernet and mqtt and somehow I should update the source of information for the battery summary.

Anyone any idea?

@HvdT I know this may be stating the obvious but have you selected the battery BMS as the “Battery Monitor” within the Cerbogx setup menu?

Yes.
