Hi Victron staff, Hi @guystewart
in the old community forum there were serveral threads about phantom temperature sensors, which were old/inactive and the users are unable to delete them, because they don’t show up in the device list.
Here is a link to such a thread: https://communityarchive.victronenergy.com/questions/130438/vrm-unable-to-delete-device.html
I again would like to ask, if the problem is still on your radar and if you know, when the problem will be solved? It’s there for over more than two years at least.
Thanks for your great work!

I would like to know also
Usually the cerbo should display “Remove disconnected devices” at the end of the main menu.
(Temperature sensors are not listed in the VRM Device List)
Can you see, if your cerbo / gx displays such an option?
If not, please check what the Temperature-Sensor is showing when selecting it and going to device:
If it says “connected”, then it claims to be connected, just not updating values.
(Therefore, the cerbo does not offer to remove “disconnected” devices)
Hi dognose,
thanks for your post. No, in the Cerbo/GX display there is no such option at the moment. The sensor is ONLY shown in the right widget bar of VRM dashboard:
And by the way, my temperature sensors created with the dbus-mqtt-devices driver for VenusOS are shown in my device list:
So, I think, @guystewart knows the problem, should be on the todo-list, but of course maybe not that important…
But I didn’t want that this topic gets lost due to the new community forum

It’s on the radar, it’s a low priority, but by co-incidence I have heard from the team earlier this week they are making a change so at least stale temperature data isn’t shown.
Once that is released I’ll ask again about the ability to remove it entirely.
Thank you very much, I appreciate that the problem is still being addressed. Thanks also for the information. Let’s wait for the changes.
