In erter aggregated totals request

The new GUI is really nice, of course already updated to the latest version. Thanks for that!

If I could place a wish, please (although Christmas is already over ):

It would be great if one could see the (accumulated) power output of additional inverters on the right hand side, if available in a system. I have three Multiplus II 5000 as ESS configuration plus a separate Phoenix 5000 on a separate VE bus on the same battery (this inverter is enabled via node red and supplies only some distinctive AC loads when excess PV power exists). But I can’t see the power consumption when activating “DC loads” (it is somehow excluded from that, even if this would be already sufficient) and I don’t see it in the “AC loads” box either (only L1…L3 of the 3xMultiplus is shown).

For now this additional inverter load is only visible on VRM via a web browser or if I dive into the detailed control pages on the Touch 50. Would be much nicer to read that power directly on the display as well, or to allow to include/exclude those from the “DC loads” option, etc…

Thanks again!

I have multiple smaller inverters (no MP2) in one system, the right-hand side shows their accumulated estimation for output power in the console.

Are those Victron products connected with VE bus? I want to control them with Cerbo/node-red (and still “see” them somehow on the Cerbo display).

I have them on VE.Direct (Phoenix inverters, they don’t have VE.Bus), they’re fully (within their limits) controllable with Node-Red.

Ok, I suppose those are just small ones in plastic casings. I am talking about an Phoenix 48/5000 (old larger metal case, not the new one looking like the Multiplus II), this has VE.bus. But it registers as “MultiPlus 48/5000/70-100” (latest FW 552) although it has no AC-IN , maybe that is the problem. Anyhow, I suppose no one else uses such a config, so I don’t expect to get it solved, so I think it will simply stay a wish .

If you are a tinkerer then node red can do this for you on a dashboard.

The best solution for those custom set ups.

Oh, sorry - I was not specific enough: my wish was to see see it locally, on the GX touch display connected to the Cerbo. At least I have expected to see this in “DC Power” (what IMHO it practically is, if not accounted to the “AC Load” of the ESS setup) - for now I can just guess rougly from the power from the battery power, the “PV charger”, EVC and the “AC in” situation.

In the VRM dashboard I see the value of the Phoenix Inverter, below the graphical view of the system, so I don’t need another dashboard for the phone.

But you made a good point, thanks! I’ll remove and sell the GX display on the bay and replace it with a cheap Chinese WiFi-Display and power it from an USB port on the Cerbo. Then I can just display what I am really interested in with a bit of coding. I could even communicate via serial/modbus directly instead of Wlan, so I just need a short and thin USB cable. I never liked the original display anyhow, as it has such thick, pre-mounted cables (in my case also way too long, so it is a mess in my control box on the wall where the Cerbo is installed - no connectors, so no way to simply replace by shorter cables). I’ll try that and if it works, I’ll post it in the DIY category.
