Victron Connect trend axis enhancement

Victron Connect chooses its own Y (and X) axis and labels.
And quite often, it does so in a very non-intuitive way.

Quite often the Y values simply do not show, because they are above or below the visible vertical range. (especially after zoom in/out of the timescale). Sometimes also all values are bunched up in only a small vertical range of the screen (see below)

And on top of that, the chosen labels seem very mathematically chosen, yielding labels like (see example) -1.48V to 16.36V, showing several others in-between, but no round numbers. (at least 0.00 is always shown)

In example below. I can imagine 0 to 15 could be argued (zero based). Or 12 to 15 (value based). But -1.48 to +16.36? Really?
At least the manual cursor is a good idea, I do like that option.

For the situation where the values fall out of range, it would be nice if the Y axis could be rescaled by double tapping the relevant axis. Or if I could drag up/down the vertical position, like I do the horizontal position.

And it would be nice if the auto-scale rounds to “human” number. In above example, -12V to +15V with a gray line every 0.5V. Or maybe indeed 0V to 15V with a gray line every 2V.

The bees knees would of course be if I could optionally set a scale myself. But maybe that is a bit over the top.

Good news is Improvements are on the way for this feature.

We had an internal update recently, and it’s very exciting progress.

Bad news is I’m not sure when they are due for release.

That is exciting news indeed. Even if it will take a little while longer.
Honestly, I was not really expecting anything, just writing away my frustration.

Any chance I could be beta pre-release?

While the point is already made, and answered positively, just adding an example of why better axis would really be useful.

My non-tech brother send me this screenshot, because his starter charge voltage is too high, and I suspect a fault in the alternator. But I have to resort to measuring with paint to get the values:

Sidenote: I suspect the alternator regulator is faulty, and sometimes shorts the field to ground, as explained here, but that is not a topic for Victron.
