Victron integration in Home Assistant

Modifications

Hello everyone,

I’m using Home Assistant 17.1 and have added Victron Remote Monitoring as an integration/service.

However, I only see 18 entities, all of them under these categories:

  • Estimated Energy Consumption

  • Estimated Energy Production

  • Highest Consumption Peak

  • Highest Peak Time

I was expecting to access many more entities from my Victron system (battery, inverter/charger, PV, loads, etc.).

Is there a way to expose additional entities from VRM to Home Assistant?
Or do I need to configure something differently (GX device settings, MQTT, modbus, HA integration options, etc.)?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Hi im using this integration thru the hacs store

GitHub - sfstar/hass-victron: Integration for Home Assistant to fetch data from the victron gx device via modbusTCP

I got over 500 entities with this setup

Hi,

I’m using the Victron MQTT Integration. It works flawlessly and you can use the MQTT bridge to reduce network traffic. It delivers in my setup more than 300 entities.

I’m using modbus; no integrations. All entities I am interested made in the configuration.yaml like this:

There is a victron “modbus TCP register XLXS” file with all register values.
