New dashboard launched for VRM – version 12.35

The latest update to the VRM platform introduces a brand new dashboard with improved overview, faster access to key data, and smart features that make it easier to monitor and optimize your energy system.

The new dashboard combines a schematic overview of the installation with historical data and now displays information in real-time, updated every two seconds.

What's new?

  • Familiar schematic layout – same style as on GX devices
  • Dynamic live data for:
    • Consumption
    • Charging
    • Grid feed-in/consumption
    • Tank levels
  • Details on hover – in-depth information when you move the mouse pointer over an element
  • Battery cycle status – Bulk, Absorption, Float
  • Accumulated consumption/production/grid feed-in for the selected period
  • Local temperature, time, and weather

The goal is to provide a complete status overview for all types of installations – on a single page.

Real-world examples

The schematic style is recognizable from GX devices. The example above shows an installation on board a boat with four tank levels – both in percentage and visually with shaded levels. More detailed data is displayed when you hover over the graphics.

How does real-time data work?

Real-time updating requires two-way communication between VRM and the installation. This means:

  • Increased CPU load on the GX device
  • Higher data traffic while the dashboard is active

To avoid overload, live data is automatically paused if the CPU load becomes too high. Then the update reverts to the interval configured on the GX device.

Note: If the VRM portal is open in an inactive tab, live reporting is paused after one minute.
