Hi I created a folder on my CerboGX and then run the script by doing the following. > nohup /usr/bin/python /data/dbus-pvoutput.py & >/data/pvoutput_output.log Please note - I have little clue about how or why etc. It has worked and I don't fiddle...

Plonkster has it here in GitHub. "This is something I've wanted to do for a long time. This is very raw still, probably needs a lot more work, and of course you need a CCGX, Venus-GX, or you need to run Venus on your Raspberry Pi. Nevertheless, here it is." Enjoy!

Can I add Color Control GX to a system with a venusGX
The GX Touch might work if you are close enough but I think you have to supply the USB power. https://www.victronenergy.com/panel-systems-remote-monitoring/cerbo-gx

Can I add Color Control GX to a system with a venusGX
I have added an old cellphone as my display in the kitchen with remote display from the GX. Cheapest option I think, and does exactly the same thing! An old tablet would be bigger

Hi @plonkster Thanks for reply... to clarify and I see above I forgot to mention I have no multi connected (sorry for misinfo). 2x MPPT's and a battery (Pylon) on the BMS CAN. A Cerbo received yesterday and I would like to capture MPPT production to PVO and EMONCMS. Using your PVO code and Paul's EMONCMS modification of your code... I have tried the hard coding of the above: vebus = 'com.victronenergy.vebus.ttyS4' But I guess it still needs the multi to respond... Regards Mark

@plonkster I don't have an energy meter and was wondering if you could advise. I get the following error... Th Thanks for the reply. Is there a chance I can "give it a value" in some way to get over this issue? or get rid of this check Regards Mark

Hi @jjordaan If the user has specified coordinates correctly then go to the map on their PVO page (click their name on the list). It will pull up their location. Regards Mark

Pylontech/Kodak system dead
Hi If the PT's are OK and can be switched on then hopefully the Kodak MPPT will charge them when the sun rises (even if its off) Thats how the Axpert used to work. Try and get them (PT's) started ie into standby mode. I assume they are now below the cutoff voltage of the Kodak and so the inverter doesn't start. The next thing is to try and get the inverter to start on Grid only... I don't know if this is possible with the Kodak but if it's similar to the Axpert Hybrid it should be possible if its not damaged. Hope this works... Regards Mark

Victron BMV 702 Battery Monitor
Hi @GreenMan Grahamstown, EC.
-
Victron BMV 702 Battery Monitor
Used but in great condition. Moved to Lithium so don't need the Mid Point monitoring anymore. Comes in original box with all original cables and manuals. Small mod to the plastic nut to allow for a thicker mounting surface. Not visible and has zero effect on functionality. R2500 (slightly negotiable) - Buyer pays postage. https://www.victronenergy.com/battery-monitors/bmv-702
