Moving to modifications.
Third party inverters using grid meters is not a tested or supported config, and as per the docs can behave in unexpected ways, especially after updates.
The consoles and GUI’s are built around a Victron inverter being in place, and unfortunately, something that works today may not work tomorrow.
If the GX is modded, there have been numerous issues with mods not working properly on the latest releases, requiring mod updates or removal to restore functionality.
Maybe I didn’t express myself very clearly. I know that it is from Victrons point of view is not a standard Installation because there is no VE Bus device such as Multiplus.
But why this is considered a “modded” system is not entirely clear to me.
The setup is:
Gird Meter is a EM24 connected to the Cerbo GX via USB. It is (as usual) automatically deteced by the VenusOS.
Thrid Party PV Inverter is communicating to the Cerbo GX via TCP Modbus Venus OS standard way (Sunspec).
The Inverter is not connected to the grid meter.
If we’re talking about modified systems, in the sense of running custom scripts to create devices and feed them with data, I completely understand that this isn’t supported. It might work, but it doesn’t have to.
The GX device is indeed modded because we install an OpenVPN client on our systems to capture data and monitor the devices. But I don’t see how this modification has anything to do with the VRM.
If there is any chance that someone takes a look: The link to the installation is here.
