How do I get my Orion XS to show on the VRM homepage with the Phoenix Smart IP43 charger? (I don’t need it in the flow diagram).
Right now I have to go into Settings > Devices > Orion to see voltages.
Hi @silvercreek
Improved VRM support for Orion XS is being actively worked on.
I’ll post an update here as features are added.
That’s great to hear! Thank you
For anyone else who finds this topic:
The Orion XS DC-DC charger now displays in the VRM as many of us hoped it would eventually. Well done to the Victron dev team for getting this delivered.
Must still be rolling out, or in beta but not yet released? I don’t see it in my VRM
I have mine set as ‘charger’, maybe it’s different if it’s set as a ‘power supply’.
I see it in every installation in my fleet.
This was the VRM Changlelog (maybe you are experiencing a browser caching issue?):
2026-09-09 (1.124.0)
- Dashboard: Show DC sources (alternator, fuel cell, DC generator) as cards with history and power flow, like the GX GUI v2.
I see. It still doesn’t show for me. I think because it’s configured to charge the start bank instead of the main bank. So it presents as a load to the main bank and not a DC source. I’ll keep waiting for Victron to add this.
Yes that is very possible. Mine is configured to charge the main bank. Although in practical terms it shouldn’t be concerned with what ‘bank’ is being charged, simply that there is an output to a battery (bank).
Just as a question, have you connected your Orion as per the Manual section 3.3 wiring diagram, that is to say specified as a charger in the Orion XS config:
Alternator → Alternator output receiving battery-> OrionXS-> Starter Battery Bank (with the Alternator charge output receiving battery connected in common with the starter battery?)
OR
As a power supply (with it selected as a power supply in the Orion XS config? Manual section 3.7). I think when I had my Orion XS configured briefly as a power supply it did disappear from the VRM (but honestly can’t remember for sure), so that may well be the issue?:
Alternator → Starter battery-> OrionXS-> Loads
Maybe @guystewart could shed some light on this?
Hi @silvercreek
Support has been added for Orion XS in VRM now.
Please check the firmware update menu of VRM to make sure everything is up to date first.
There may be some configurations that aren’t showing correctly, but the first thing to do is to be up to date with firmware. Once confirmed, if the issue still persists, post back and then I’ll ask the VRM team to investigate further.
Thanks both. I verified that the Orion XS is configured as a Charger (not Power Supply) and also verified all firmware is up to date. Still not showing for me, just my Smart IP43 Charger. Could VRM be limited to showing only a single charger?
As mentioned I don’t have it set up as an alternator charging the house bank, but as a Dc-Dc charger charging another battery bank
in this case it would be under dc loads and not part of the alternator box.
Thank you Frank. If you look up at my original post up top you will see my real question was if there’s a way for it to show on the VRM homepage with the other chargers, where I highlighted in red. It sounds like it is still not possible in my configuration.
