Hi, I’m using Node-Red, the shelly integration and virtual device to implement 2 PV inverters into my Victron system that don’t have any other form of communication. In the live data (remote console) the actual power, total energy and energy per phase (although it’s a single phase system) do show, but in the VRM portal there is no solar production shown. There is a forecast, but actual production kWh is not shown. What did I miss? Here is the code of the function node in node-red between the shelly integration and the virtual PV device ![Scherm­afbeelding 2026-03-28 om 08.17.04](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/victron/original/3X/9/2/929a1508133264af2476745c6e8c43ac614d4f50.jpeg) ![Scherm­afbeelding 2026-03-28 om 08.13.51](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/victron/original/3X/8/0/809871d9506c3f01ad3992b8956e734e637f998a.png) ![Scherm­afbeelding 2026-03-28 om 08.13.18](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/victron/original/3X/f/c/fcc57c95e18b88b1e19e4d2d14668171d1669702.png) ---

Is there a solar yield widget available for the device in VRM advanced? If not, it won’t work. There are plenty of VRM features not implemented for virtual devices It is still new tech so that will change with time. ---

Yes, there are widgets available. That makes me expect it’s supposed to work, but I’m doing something wrong? If I look into another installation I see there an actual value in the Energy forward. That is missing in my installation. I suspect that’s the issue, but how to get the right value there? ![Scherm­afbeelding 2026-03-28 om 08.55.07](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/victron/original/3X/9/d/9dd023b522bf6f0b1b1ea5e463379c8c11e819d8.png) ---

No. A PV yield widget. Meters can only provide a subset of the data a conventional charger or inverter would usually expose. ![IMG_6272](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/victron/original/3X/e/b/eb54dafef994165edc17a7646c28e6b02fee89d5.jpeg) ---

PV yield widget is working too. ![Scherm­afbeelding 2026-03-28 om 09.04.04](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/victron/original/3X/1/1/1185da1235e943dcad13ca329fc4da184fae3d74.png) ---

Then it is a case that the dash does not include support for these virtual devices yet. They have their limitations. If supported, it would just work. Though, strange you get a forecast but no solar. ---

Can you confirm what GX version are you using? If you are on a GA version, it would be worth testing on the latest beta to see if the behaviour is the same. ---

I’m running 3.71. Will update to the latest beta too see if that brings some difference ---

I have confirmed with the vrm team that this isn’t implemented for virtual devices. ---

Are you PV inverters Enphase ones? Enphase supports sunspec, so none need for a shelly to measure the production anymore. ---

Ok, nothing wrong with configuration on my side…. Too bad it doesn’t work. Are there any other alternative (wifi) energy meters that work as PV meter? ---

Not all of them, that’s why I use a shelly to monitor the whole group. ---

It may be something they choose to support. But that I don’t have insight into.
