I have a Phoenix 48/1200 that I have yet to install, but the manual mentions the VE.Direct port as enabled for connection to a PC (via VE.Direct to USB adaptor), or smartphone (via Bluetooth dongle) for the purpose of using VictronConnect to program the few parameters the inverter exposes.
It doesn’t mention connecting to a Cerbo, but it seems as it should like every other VE.Direct device with VictronConnect capabilities.
I don’t expect it, however, to take a seat next to the Quattro in VRM/Venus system displays.
I currently have non-Victron inverters on my system, and to see their battery consumption, treat them as DC loads. For off grid, I’m more interested in whats being drawn from the battery, than what’s being done with the energy (though I do have other means of measuring that.)
