@RoarPowerNZ-tt6ud 6 дней назад

Great video, thanks. For new users of VenusOS who can't seem to find the settings mentioned in the video - from version 3.50 onwards there has been a change to the "Two-way communication" options, "Logging" is has gone, and the two-way communication is gone, and a new setting called "VRM Portal" replaces both old settings. This new setting has three options ; Full, ReadOnly, Off. The default is Full (meaning logging to the VRM portal happens, and two-way comms is enabled so you can make changes locally OR remotely), ReadOnly means logging to VRM happens, but only local users can change settings, and Off means no logging to VRM (but locally everything works as expected).

@@mikeKirwin thank you so much for your feedback and sharing. You're right, venus.local may not show up immediately after booting.

@electricwhirl5175 3 года назад

Thanks for the videos Andy and sharing your expierence! I can only add my own expierence with RPi's (have been playing with them for last years): 1) don't turn it off unplugging cable - that can damage your data on SD card 2) better don't use cheap microSD cards, they will get corrupted quite soon and also cause RPi just to hang up. I have found so far best expierence with Samsung Pro Endurance (video surveillance cards). For best you can also use the USB HDD for booting/storing the system. 3) I would better buy model Pi4 with 2GB RAM, it's not more expensive than Pi3, but it's more reliable, has USB HDD boot support and also more powerful. You can add other stuff to it (e.g., saw you have some network server (?) for file share - you can make a Pi as a backup server in garage - to be safe if something happens in house :))

Another great video thanks. I purchased a colour control GX (thankfully used, so a lot cheaper than new) but the original owner hadn’t released the Portal ID so I couldn’t use it - thankfully sorted with a few emails back and forth. I’ve also used the RasPi this way and the result is pretty similar to the colour control, especially if you add a touch screen to the RasPi. With a touch screen connected it’s pretty much a mini Cerbo GX - but the screen does need one of the USB ports for the touch functionality to work.

A good system is one you don't have to keep tabs on. This is great for geeks like us but really, a system should be worry free. The only thing I'd actually want to monitor in this fashion is cell voltages but this doesn't give you that. Even then, the system should be designed so that it just works and and cell voltages should be a non issues. This is great for installers though to troubleshoot their customer's system quickly without traveling. I use to think it was much harder to set up but wow, actually super easy! Being a geek myself, now cant help but to hook this up just for fun. 😎

@kibi15 3 года назад

Please take care when using non-isolated USB dongles like those. They work just fine, but you need to be sure that the big battery negative cable never becomes disconnected. If battery negative becomes disconnected from the MPPT in some way then the next available negative path will be via the data cable, a situation which will very likely result in misfortune.

@@OffGridGarageAustralia Ah. That OS does not have that option. Oh well, you just have to unplug it then! 😁 Or you may be able to shutdown via command line with: sudo shutdown -h now

@OffGridGarageAustralia 3 года назад

@@BrazzaB1 there is no console either. Once Venus OS is booted, that's it. I'll ask the developer to add this into the menu structure.

Thnx for your excellent walkthrough! Was able to setup a working system instantly. Question: The ve.direct-interface on my 150/35 solar charge controller is occupied by a victron bluetooth dongle. This probably means to switch cables whenever carrying out adjustments to the controller. Anyone who got the same configuration and hopefully a solution (without replacing the charge controller with built-in bluetooth)?

@OffGridGarageAustralia 3 года назад

Thank you Martin, good to hear it worked for you as well. You probably don't need the BT dongle any more as you can now access and configure the controller via the VRM from wherever you are.

Now add a 7" touchscreen to it, easy enough to setup (google steps) and works well :)

@ssyoumans 3 года назад

I thought you had to be able to connect to the OS to do that? Using putty or similiar? Fair # of lines of code needed to get touchscreen configured. Do you have a recommended tutorial? I would like to do this.

@OffGridGarageAustralia 3 года назад

I think you need to code a bit for this, yes. It's not too complicated but maybe worth another video in the future. I use my old tablet now to simply connect to venus.local and it shows me the console as well. Including touch 😉

Thanks for the great video, however, I've been Raspberry Pi user since the model B, and the early ones can get by with 1 amp, but not the V3 or later. The V3 needs at least 2.5amps for the wifi and the V4 needs at least 3amps due to the additional bluetooth and faster processor. Additional power will be needed for thumb-drives and other parasitic powered devices, like mice and keyboards etc.

Andy your awesome. Thank you.

@OffGridGarageAustralia 3 года назад

Thank you Gary. I love this Pi and setup so much. It gives me all the info from anywhere and I can adjust the settings wherever I am.

You can go for the Victron GX and you can view all you want online. At the same time i have a 7s120p 18650 power wall and Victron cannot see the BMS i have. So I am interested how you get on with the Piy. Also you’re a great guy really like your videos.

@OffGridGarageAustralia 3 года назад

Thank you very much!

@michaelbouckley4455 3 года назад

Maybe Victron Smart Battery Sense would help? The controller would know the battery temperature and overall voltage, at the battery terminals

@Marstepan Год назад

Excellent and funny tutorial! This may help a lot of people who may save money on CERBO GX! Much obliged.

This works great for the mppt charge controller. Thanks for such comprehensive details. Now if I can only get hold of another Pi! I am also hoping to work out how to get data from my Victron multi-plus since this uses an ethernet type port, but the data must be there. Just need to figure out which pins to use.
