@@AdamDeLayDIY Oh nice. That's not too far out. I am curious if because they use MQTT there is a way to tie in to many of their data/triggers via Home Assistant.. to trigger things, etc. I will eventually have my lights, and other things tied to MQTT/Home Assistant via switches, etc. Not sure what can be done yet though. Maybe if battery is getting low, flicker any lights that are on to remind people to shut them off. :D.
@@b3owu1f Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can integrate into HomeAssistant. They also have NodeRed as another programming option. That's one big draw for people. Lots of possibilities!
@@AdamDeLayDIY Excellent. I saw something on Node Red too.. I love that style of drag/drop connect flow to build things. Very visually pleasing and easy to use. Will have to look into that more.
Thanks! I'm not sure. I know they're still working on getting the basic components ported over from the old version. I would imagine they'll have a lot more flexibility once that's done to add a lot more features though.
I have been running this for about a month. I like some of it, especially the charts, although they need to be greatly expanded. It has frozen once and I had to reboot it. One curious thing about the charts... the solar production history appears to be backwards compared to VRM... newest on left vs. newest on right.
Have it working on Tablet , Android Phone and Windows 10 laptop however i don't have TIME TO GO on brief on any of them as you do . MPPY State on Overview or Brief would be useful . Also noticed Solar feeds battery THEN Inverter , VRM shows both are being fed individually .
I’m not sure about the “time to go”. Sometimes it’s there and sometimes it’s not. I’m sure it’s just one of those things that’s still being worked on. As far as the solar feeding the battery first, I’m sure it’s just a matter of real estate. It’s still feeding power the same way, it’s just represented differently. It would be nice if it showed the way the VRM does though so it doesn’t confuse people in thinking all power goes through the battery.
Great video. I was wondering how you connect via a browser to the Cerbo to test remote console over LAN (page 32 in Beta Doc. Do you need to connect via ethernet cable or can you use wifi.
Thanks! Your Cerbo can be connected to your network either through Ethernet or WiFi. Mine uses wifi. You just need to find the IP address of your Cerbo from its settings.
Because the Remote Console doesn’t work in the VRM, I haven’t enabled the new gui on the display for long term use. I have been monitoring the beta thread on the forum and I believe that the auto brightness and sleep functions aren’t working at this time. It’s a known issue though. Victron is currently working on their 3.20 update. Once that’s complete they’ll be back to the gui v2 updates.
@@ivanrokić I believe they actually removed that from the current version. I would imagine they want to get the basics taken care of first before adding extra features. The early beta was probably showing capabilities.
I hope they eventually duplicate the generator control on the second relay, I’ve got something in mind for that. Being able to control certain conditions opens up all sorts of possibilities “for me at least” Thanks for the review 🤙🇦🇺
@@5rgs17 I actually just updated to the latest version this morning and thought that I needed to do an update video on the progress. They’ve made a lot of changes and updates. I’m actually running it full-time on my Cerbo display now.
On any page of GUI2, there's a button on the top-left corner of the screen. You tap that and then you should see the ability to change the AC IN limit. ua-cam.com/video/gGCxxiSB1lc/v-deo.html
@@AdamDeLayDIY Thank you for quick reply. On my version of GUI2 (3.40~1), when I clicked on that, it said "Unrecognized". This may be because I had manually set the current limit to 28A via VE Configure. When I set it to 50A through the VRM and rebooted the Cerbo, it now shows what you are saying. So, it may seem that setting it to something other than the defined settings (15, 20, 30, 50, etc) stops someone from using the quick set option? I'm not sure...it may be something to test.
@@camustang1966 It's entirely possible. I might suggest reporting what you found on the Victron Community forum thread for the beta. community.victronenergy.com/questions/270759/venus-os-v3401-available-for-testing.html That will help the developers know to fix the issue. I'm sure images would help as well!
Hi, I installed the beta all is good. There is the new Gui at the gui-beta address, but in my settings there Is nowhere to put the option to set as default the new Web UI (???)
@@claudiof.barbano5530 If you go to Settings -> Display and Language and scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, do you see a "UI Version" option?
@@claudiof.barbano5530 What model Cerbo do you have? Might be worth going to the Victron Community post in the description and add your info to that post so the devs can see it.
Thanks for the video, much appreciated. I'm actually amazed that victron customers have been having to settle with the original GUI since it was built 100+ years ago. It's an embarrassing setup to watch y'all fumble through in UA-cam. The new interface appears more intuitive, easy on the eyes and snappy so hopefully it'll be up and running soon. Having all of the upgrades that the gentleman Kevin incorporated into everything including support for added relays will probably be more important to me than the newest interface if a choice ultimately needs to be made. Has anyone been able to replicate this on their Raspberry pi?
@@AdamDeLayDIY smart shunt. It shows up in the device list. Just not in the round circle in the overview. Only percentage in the half circle arche but no Time to go in the middle of the circle
@@AdamDeLayDIY the VRM dashboard is fine. Remote doesn’t work due laggy connection. It’s just the percentage and TTG missing in the middle of the circle 🤷♂️
Victron released an update but had to push back the gui update. You’ll need to switch to the beta firmware path (3:02 in the video) and install the latest beta and then follow the rest of the steps. I believe the latest beta is 3.40 something. Once your on that firmware version, then you should be able to see the new UI.
I wish they'd make the Venus OS more simple to install by just making it packages you can install on normal Raspbian. Not sure why they need their own "distro"
Hey Adam, thanks I’ll probably give this a crack tomorrow. Very interesting. Any issues with the update? Do you still use this update or have you rolled back? Cheers from @OrganicPower-Australia great content as always 👍🏻😎
Thanks buddy! I’m still running the beta. I have a tablet near my kitchen displaying the beta console. I don’t have it running on the Cerbo display because it breaks the remote console in the VRM.

thanks for the video, so happy with my Victron set.
Man..that new GUI looks WAY better.. much easier to read, use and shows more too. Very much hope it's available soon as I start my Victron path.

Nice! Yeah I imagine over time there might be a handful of inconsistencies pointed out that will need to be addressed.
Hay just wondering did you have any issue with your touch screen sleeping ? Thanks heaps
Hi Adam, i miss the display always (time display) on Feature in GUI 2. Is this not in the setup somewhere?
found it. It is just not in the remote console

Hi Adam, did you have to remove the gui-mods before installing the beta?
No I didn't. After I installed the beta, it looks like it disabled gui-mods.

Your Cerbo can be connected to your network either through Ethernet or WiFi. Mine uses wifi.
You just need to find the IP address of your Cerbo from its settings.
In my update feed there is only "Official Release" and "Beta release", how do I get the "Latest release candidate"?
If you want to try out the new GUI 2.0, you'll have to switch to the "beta release" feed and install from there.
