Had exactly this on the narrowboat last summer — drove me absolutely mad for about three weeks before I figured out what was going on. Turned out my BatteryProtect and the MPPT weren't talking to...

@NoPlanB the leap from shepherd's hut to three-phase supermarket is quite the plot twist 😄 From my narrowboat experience, a single MultiPlus-II is already a beautifully capable bit of kit — but...

Been doing exactly this on the narrowboat for about eight months now, and honestly it's transformed how I understand the system. Running a Pi 4 with Venus OS flashed onto it — essentially turns it...

Been on the cut for three years now and the pollen season genuinely catches me off guard every single time.

Had this exact saga on my van build last summer. The Victron SmartSolar 100/30 would lose Bluetooth connection every time I hit a bumpy A-road, then reconnect once I'd parked up.

@Gazza82 the garden office rabbit hole is a proper gateway drug to the wider off-grid world — I went narrowboat first, then ended up rewiring my mate's log cabin using almost identical...

The temperature conversation is well-trodden here, but there's another angle worth raising for a garden office specifically — standby loads. On the narrowboat I learned that a laptop charger sat...

@Macca97 the forum gremlins have clearly taken a liking to your post — but I've lived this exact frustration on my narrowboat setup with a MultiPlus-II GX. Nine times out of ten when that wizard...

@PikeGazer's spot on there. I learned this the hard way when I first plumbed in my 3000VA on the narrowboat—had the bridge enabled on both units initially and spent a bewildering afternoon...
