Is it possible to have multiple (repeater) displays?

As per title. And if this is possible at this moment, please excuse my ignorance.

The Cerbo has it’s own display port.
On the (local) network you can access the webpage of the Remote Console.
But if you want to access from an additional computer/tablet/etc. the Remote Console, on the first one it will disconnect.
At least this is happening on gui-v1. Is this the same for gui-v2?

Is it possible to have multiple repeater displays in different places?
In technical room will be Cerbo. Then have different ones on different rooms, on the same home network…
Not necessary with the possibility to set things, like the one attached to Cerbo, but only tell-tales.

Maybe this is possible (??) over NMEA network, but it’s difficult to wire additional networks on an already wired-up building.
Just want to use the existing wired/wireless network.

Thanks!

Just test it yourself?!

I just connected to my test system via VRM with two browsers on my PC and with my phone at the same time.
With each you could navigate individually.

I’m sure that also works locally with the IP address and also with that new feature:

NEW: Use an Android tablet as dedicated GX Wi-Fi Display (beta)

1. Introduction This procedure and software will turn an Android tablet/phone into a dedicated display for GX products. The app, once installed, takes over the device, running in kiosk mode to ensure it functions as a dedicated display for GX devices. This means: The tablet will only serve as a GX display, restricting access to other applications and features. Users will not be able to use the device for general purposes like browsing or installing apps. The device will remain in this mode unt…

So it works with gui-v2 on the local network?
Sorry, didn’t install yet the 3.50 version as it seems a little bit “young”.

Also, you are talking about installing a new application that will lock the device to only do this.
It is preferable to use a web browser, or at least don’t dedicate the tablet/PC/etc to just this usage.
The same display could be used, by launching different things, different info.

Yes, like Matthias sez. I have GUI-v1 on an old CCGX (no choice there) and v2 on different pc browser tabs. Easier to select the screens from the browser tabs than using the selectors within the screens.
That’s some change. I like it…

Thanks @JohnC and @mpvader for confirm it !

This saved me some time as I was thinking of making a small app that will read from the local network the info through Modbus and then display it.

Totally possible, this is one of the features that is unlocked by gui-v2.

The tablet android apk project is one of the methods.

But basically you can, on the local network, simply open gui-v2 in as many browsers as you want. Same remotely via VRM.

It could be highlighted more in the changelog and such

That system is not in my LAN so I tested it over the VRM remote console.
But I’m pretty sure that it will also work locally.

The remote connection to the new GUI is working totally different compared to the old GUI.
If I understand it correctly the new GUI is running locally on the device and sends commands via MQTT or something like that.
So theoretically you could open as many remote connections as you want.

Using a dedicated tablet for that was just a hint to that new feature.
