No consumption tab on VRM?

Hello,

Do you know why I don’t have a consumption tab?

Today (06/11/2025) all the devices below are up to date:

-cerbo gx mk2

-smart shunt

-phoenix inverter

-blue solar mppt

I would like the same interface as this installation:

Is a multiplus absolutely necessary?

Thank you, have a nice day.

Is this a offgrid system?

Do you have any Energymeter in the system? If not, then nothing can measure the consumption you have.

Yes it’s a offgrid with a phoenix inverter.

I don’t have any specific measuring equipment, but is the inverter capable of doing this?
Or is it a problem with the VRM display?

As far as I know the Phoenix can’t measure/show the AC consumption.

You could activate the option “Has DC System” in the System Setup in the VenusOS. Then you should at least see the DC load of the shunt.

The other and clean way would be to install a AC Meter at the output. Could be something small and cheap like a Shelly 1PM (~15€). This you could integrate into VenusOS and display it in VRM. My only concern is, I’m not sure how this will work without an Multiplus…
