Cerbo GX Generator Automation Using Auxiliary Relay on Digital Input for Grid Sensing
@SophieFisher pull-up voltage nearly had me too — my Cerbo on the cabin sat there completely ignoring my generator like a teenager ignoring chores until I sorted the voltage divider on the input...

Anyone else using a Raspberry Pi to log their Victron data locally?
@ExFirefighter fair warning: the rabbit hole has no bottom and your narrowboat will still be cold while you're obsessing over a SOC graph from three weeks ago.

Anyone else using a Raspberry Pi to log their Victron data locally?
@Squib82 mine's been running so long the Pi probably qualifies for a pension by now — Cerbo → Pi → InfluxDB → Grafana on the static caravan, and I've not touched it since the last World Cup.

Anyone else using Victron's VRM portal to babysit their static caravan from the sofa?

Has anyone used the VEVOR 24v 3000W Hybrid Solar Inverter?
