Dear all,  
I have extended an existing SMA setup through a new Victron installation. Basically:

- SMA: PV inverter (Tripower)
- SMA: Battery inverter for AC-coupled 1-phase battery (Sunnyboy Storage)
- SMA: HomeManager2.0
- Victron: DC-coupled battery system with 3x MP2 and respective LiFePo4 batteries
- Victron: Cerbo-GX
- EM24

Up until everything is working fine, I have the HomeManager2.0 and the EM24 in sequence (what needs to come first/closest to the grid here - the EM24???)

I managed to integrate the PV inverter well - all working. The battery inverter is however also recognized as a PV inverter and not as a battery, completely messing up the VRM dashboard. How can I fix that? Any ideas on how to properly integrate the AC-coupled battery through SunnyBoy Storage in the VRM?

Obviously because of this, the loading of the DC batteries is also messed up.

Would appreciate some help! Thank you!

I have exactly the same situation here, except that I use only one MP2.  
On the Console it is showing me this:

In VRM its showing up like that:

The SunnyBoy is singlephase on L3 of the Loads and MP2 is on L1 (load) of the EM24.  
The Meters are: Grid → EM24 → HomeManager → Loads

I do not really see what is currently generated and how full is the battery of the SunnyBoy.

Did you or someone else managed to get it work?

With that Setup it seems to work, even the DC-Load:

The only thing is, I do not see the SMA-Battery and no Idea how full it is
