BasZ got a reaction from wolfandy in Axpert with Victron MPPT - does it make sense and how would it work?So, just to let you know that with the new settings I am in a much better space with my system. I managed to tweak some of my consumption by installing a timer on my wellpoint pump (it was engaging early morning when I irrigate the garden) and pushing its consumption to late afternoon. Since then my Eskom consumption has reduced significantly and my battery doesnt drop below 50% anymore. Jay! I think I will continue in this way until I need to replace my inverters and at that point install a Victron product that will allow the CCGX to understand and manage completely what is happening. Many thanks again for your help and patience @wolfandy!

Hi BasZ
My path went along these lines of instructions:
1. Some reading about the Venus OS and Raspberry Pi Project - https://www.victronenergy.com/live/open_source:ccgx:installing_ccgx_func_on_raspberry_pi
2. The Raspberry Pi Image - https://github.com/victronenergy/venus/wiki/raspberrypi
3. Read info about the ET112 - https://www.victronenergy.com/live/energy-meters:et112 , you need a RS485 to USB interface cable
4. Follow the RS485 wiring as per "Option B: Wired connection to CCGX" on the link in no3 above.
This instruction is for a single ET112 (single phase), I cant comment on the request for 3x ET112
