As displaying node-RED dashboard on Cerbo is almost  
[impossible](https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/115063/node-red-dashboard-on-cerbo-gx-touch-50.html),  
I tried to show Cerbo’s Remote Console on the dashboard using ui-template or ui-iframe nodes,  
with iframe width=“840” height=“360” src=“[http://venus.local](http://venus.local/)”

While the code works nicely as separate HTML, on dashboard it shows empty frame.  
I know, that Remote Console needs Canvas capability of the browser, but ui-template should be able to handle this. I tested everything, still got empty frame.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Well, needs to be https and exact IP, not venus.local. Then iframe node with 16x7 size works perfectly including Cerbo remote.

I managed to use your script thank you, but it seems that it is not loading, even though I changed the address to my specific local address, did you need to do anything else?

I hope anything else needed. Keep on mind, this works only locally (i.e. when watched on venus.local:1881/ui), it does not work in VRM.

I managed with this script,  
[  
{  
“id”: “620fe37a.a0eb1c”,  
“type”: “ui\_iframe”,  
“z”: “c7b2bce22d79455f”,  
“group”: “8ac6b1fa4cad4fbf”,  
“name”: “Cerbo (locally only)”,  
“order”: 1,  
“width”: “12”,  
“height”: “6”,  
“url”: “[https://192.168.1.83](https://192.168.1.83)”,  
“origin”: “\*”,  
“scale”: “100”,  
“x”: 230,  
“y”: 120,  
“wires”: [  
  
]  
},  
{  
“id”: “8ac6b1fa4cad4fbf”,  
“type”: “ui\_group”,  
“name”: “Remote console (locally only)”,  
“tab”: “a402720de182cff2”,  
“order”: 1,  
“disp”: false,  
“width”: “12”,  
“collapse”: false,  
“className”: “”  
},  
{  
“id”: “a402720de182cff2”,  
“type”: “ui\_tab”,  
“name”: “Local Access”,  
“icon”: “mi-desktop\_windows”,  
“order”: 2,  
“disabled”: false,  
“hidden”: false  
}  
]

I also changed the siz of widgets so it appears bigger look at the following screenshot
