Hi,

I operate a transportable Victron hybrid solar and battery system fitted with a Cerbo GX, which is hired to different customers.

I’d like to provide customers with read-only VRM access during their hire period, while preventing them from viewing historical data recorded before their hire commenced.

I also want to retain the complete historical data privately for my own records.

Is there a way to restrict a user’s historical visibility to a specific date, or create a new VRM installation for each hire using the same Cerbo GX without losing the previous installation’s data?

Ideally, I’d like customers to retain access to all the standard VRM monitoring features rather than having to use a separate dashboard.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Deleting and reading device scrubs records. Reading is simple.

You could probably download CSV data before doing it though for each hire period and find a way to localise your visuals.

There is not automatic way so it won’t have to be part of the SOP for the hiring process
