Cerbo GX for System Monitoring and Control

Got it on time, worked at first connection, fun to use and configure, y have an old cellphone ad console in my desk.

The Cerbo GX is the one piece of equipment that completes my system. I can now keep and eye on all of my Victron Energy equipment I have in my solar power system. I can see all aspects of my system and make changes to keep my system optimized for peak output. I now have a window on my solar charge controllers, inverter/charger, SmartShunts and batteries. I can now see all of this per WiFi from anywhere in the world. The information I see is highly configurable allowing me to see only the information that is important to me. I can set up alarms that alert me to anything that I feel is important. I can go on and on about this device, but one thing is for sure, it works and it is very reliable Victron Energy quality. 5 stars.

Good choice

Must have if you want to be able to check on your victron system remotely. Must have an internet connection to do so remotely.

Excellent product, a little hard to get connected with bluetooth and wifi, but once you work through that it is easy to set up and monitor through the online portal. After watching a youtube video it was easy to set up temperature sensors and fans on the relays. Have Inverter, Battery Monitor and MPPT Charger all connected with VE Cables which were not supplied. I have recently installed Bluetooth Ruuvi Tags for temperature sensors and Asus USB-N14 WiFi adapter. Must use Victron products or compatable product to get everything to work together.

I got this in order to set up the Victron ESS on my Victron solar charge converter and MultiPlus inverter/charger system. In particular I wanted to be able to prioritize using solar power instead of the generator when both were available. It took a bit of doing to set up the ESS assistant with the MultiPlus, but now it all works really well. I like having the control panel show up on my smartphone, though I wish Victron would allow connections to the control panel via bluetooth and an app instead of via wifi only. Other than that I'm happy with it. Victron has been great for supporting system integration and maximal control over all the parameters, and I would buy their system components again.

Update: Completed the Install of the Cerbo GX MK2 in a 2018 Winnebago View J. I discovered a lose connection from 12 volt house battery to the Cerbo GX was keeping the system from fully functioning. The unit allows me to adjust parameters of the system on the fly. The Cerbo GX has WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity as well a local area network connection which is how I’ve connected the system. So far things are working well. Previously: Purchased Victron Cerbo GX MK2 device firmware: v3.34. I connected Cerbo GX to my 13.4 volt LiFeSO4 battery and powered up - WiFi and Bluetooth constantly flash. My system consists of Victron MultiPlus 12/3000/120-50 120V firmware:v 2702552, connected via RJ45 to VE.bus ports; the other devices Solar MPPT 100/50 and BMV-712 connect via VE.direct ports. Unable to connect to "remote console 192.168.1.xxx" . Using Apple devices MacBook Air M2 MacOS-15.5, iPhone IOS 18.5. Unable to update firmware and unable control Multiplus any settings.

This thing is great so everything can be monitored from a screen bigger than your phone.

Does a good job of controlling various connected devices (Solar and B2B chargers, multiplus inverter/charger, lifepo4 BMS) - good connectivity too. Particularly like the relays and temp sensor inputs

Dificile de le configuré, interface nul + bug. Après des pas mal de galère c'est utilisable....

Like other Victron gear, this is a solid thought through system with good support and with great freedom of customisation.

This thing is unbelievable. I can’t stop making node red automations. I still can’t find a limit of what it won’t do. I just finished building a node red controlled EMS that runs automatically and constantly monitors incoming power and adjusts equipment. My only issue was my first one died for no reason after 3 weeks. Victron took care of the replacement within days.

Shipped without any of the accessories, including the power cable - which Victron don't sell separately
