I continue to be impressed with Victrons products, especially their software. I always planned to do some data logging and thought I would have to do a little work to make it happen. Turns out Victron gives you all the pieces you need. I bought a Raspberry Pi zero 2W and flashed it with the free software from Victron to make it a data hub which also uploads to the Victron VRM cloud. Had to buy a USB cable to connect to the Victron controller, but that was really all. Played around on the desktop with a monitor and keyboard set up the WiFi, added the VRM info and moved everything down to the garage. Plugged in everything (monitor, keyboard) but it wasn’t really necessary. It synced with the controller and everything worked as expected. How often does that happen?

i made my site public so anyone can go have a look at my system status. It’s on their VRM share site at Guccione Home Solar. You can also find it on the Victron World site (I’m in Austin, TX).
