This package provides the following modificaitons to the VenusOS GUI: move Settings and Notifications to the top of the list man page hides the Tiles Overview enhances the Mobile Overview all new layout and tile organization add Inverter Only mode shows voltages current and frequency for AC in and out shows current for DC loads shows solar voltage and current hides Pump switch if not enabled to make more space for tanks tanks column scrolls if there are more tanks than space allows enhances the Tank Tile red indicates low/high fluid levels instead of blinking indicates NO RESPONSE if no signal received from tank tile shrinks if needed to show more tanks (6-7 vs 4 for stock) display custom tank names displays absolute fluid quantity (e.g., gallons) in addition to percentage adds tank information to the flow Overview 4 tanks fit along the bottom of the page for more than 4 tanks, the list scrolls adds AC voltage, current, frequency and input current limit to flow Overview adds power guages to AC In, AC Out and Inverter tiles each of these modifications can be selected individually at install time This script should be run manually initally. It will then called from reinstallMods to reinstall functionality after a Venus update The power guages require additional information during installation. The first three values can be taken from the spec sheet for your specific Multi/Quatro, etc. The inverter's peak power provides a maximum displayable value. Use the value at which the inverter will continue to run only for a short period of time. For some inverters, this value is double the continuous value, so you may wish to set this to a lower value in order to favor more space to display lower values. The inverter's maximum continuous power sets the overload threshold. The intent is to show the power at which the inverter will run forever at least if ambient temperature is within reason. This value should be set to the inverer's maximum output power spec at 25 C. The inverter's caution level indicates a power level at which the user should start looking at system power in order to prevent an overload. Set this parameter to something like the maximum power spec at highest temperature. The maximum system power is the point at which the components down stream will overload. For example, this could be set to the power equivalent to the power distribution panel's ain breaker (e.g., 50 amps on a 120volt system would be 6000 watts). This parameter is optional. Setting it allows the AC output guage to show an overload at this value rather than the sum of input and inverter powers (power assist). If you do not want this limitation, set the value to 0. Setup: The easiest way to install this code IF the Venus device has internet access is to run the following command: wget -qO - https://github.com/kwindrem/GuiMods/archive/current.tar.gz | tar -xzf - -C /data mv /data/GuiMods-current /data/GuiMods If not, run the following commands on a computer that does have internet access wget https://github.com/kwindrem/TankRepeater/archive/current.tar.gz mv current.tar.gz GuiMods.tar.gz then move the resulting .tar.gx file to a USB stick, put the stick in the Venus device and reboot. You must also install SetupHelper wget -qO - https://github.com/kwindrem/SetupHelper/archive/current.tar.gz | tar -xzf - -C /data mv /data/SetupHelper-current /data/SetupHelper or wget https://github.com/kwindrem/TankRepeater/archive/current.tar.gz mv current.tar.gz SetupHelper.tar.gz Once both packages are installed run setup and follow the prompts. /data/GuiMods/setup You will need root access to the Venus device. Instructions can be found here: https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ccgx:root_access The root password needs to be reentered following a Venus update. Setting up an authorization key (see documentation referenced above) will save time and avoid having to reset the root password after each update.
