Hi what are you trying to do? From pc to ve direct on cerbo?? Thats not posibble…

Hee thanks for reacting. I find many sites where they build their own rs232 to pc rs232 connection. I bought the cable to be sure. Fot example here: Connection with Victron VE.Direct – Pekaway But there are many other sites. Did i miss somethjng? Please advice. P.

I am trying to get a dump of all the settings so i can decide with another program (that reads the data, no writing needed at this point), select the field it needs and does something, like switching something on or off or sending a telegram message to me.

Ah… really? That sucks. I was y counting on that. But why a mppt but not the cerbo. When i look at the fileds it is supposed to be sending out there is all kinds of stuk i can use, like SOC or amount charging amps A mppt does not even have this info, does it?

I have been reading this: VE.Direct-Protocol-3.33.pdf 388.81 KB

I see no mention of mppt only. You could very well be right, i just don’t understand why the manual speaks of all these fields.

If you want to read out the cerbo you should use network and mqtt i think, cerbo only reads data from devices over ve direct Im not familiar with it, i use home assistant to read out my complete system including GX

A GX device only reads data from connected VE.direct devices it doesn’t send data.

Ok, Why does it say so then in the manual? They say it explicitely: ve-bus sends all parameters every 1 second (in text mode)
