Victron Cerbo GX super easy setup to VRM, GuiMods & Ruuvi Tag installation. And the new Name!!!

How to set up the Victron Cerbo GX in the easiest way possible and connect it to the VRM?
I show you setp-by-step how easy this is when using a LAN connection or just Wifi. Out of the box, the Cerbo is a true plug'n play device. A lot easier to setup, than the Raspberry Pi.
We also need to give this installation a name, right. Thanks a lot for all your suggestions but I will have to go with something a bit more peppy. So the name sticks! 😀

As soon as the Cerbo is connected to the VRM, I show you how to do the 'Blind Installation' of Kevin's GuiMods by using a just a USB stick. And finally, we also connect our Ruuvi Tags to the Cerbo. It will be quick and easy. I really like this device.

I have been having issues with connecting to a new wifi device. I have been looking for a couple of weeks to find the best explanation. This by far is the best video explaining the steps. Thank YOU.

Hey Andy, im just down the road at Ipswich and i ordered the wrong lenght ve direct cable for one of my devices, so now i have a 30cm ve direct cable which I don't need, still brand new in the packet if you want it. Keep up the awesome videos mate!

You might run into issues, when connecting both the Lynx-Shunt and the CAN-BMS:
The Lynx-Shunt will be forced to be the main battery monitor and you can't chage it in the settings...I experianced that a while ago. But It might have changed until now.

Much better now it's level. Can't wait until the next video's!

[clarencewiles]

I guess everyone is telling you to get it straight. Thanks again for your feedback.

My RUUVIs have arrived - so of course i need to add them to the Cerbo/VRM - and need to watch this again :)
Coming soon to the VRM

Hi Andy. I've noticed that your cerbo gx has serial number HQ22**. and there is an issue with internal power supply. when you connect your cerbo to 48v it can die.

Andy,
Change your NAME to EILEEN...Cerbo will be perfectly LEVEL.

Any GUI mods that make it less "Littles Tikes" looking and make better use of the pixel screen area? A Black background would be a great start.

[blackswansystem]

Cerbo McCerboFace would have been my choice

[milkhbox]

If Andy levels the cerbo in his garage, does the bush make a sound?

It'll level out better after a beer or 5.

Heya, it's nice that you can upgrade the software

[Reaching]

on my device, the remote access is disabled, so i cant access to start setup the device. how do i activate the remote control ??

[earthenergyhex]

does the cerbo GX only connect to Victron equipment, or Could I use it to connect to a Schneider inverter?

[chuxxsss]

Name it Thomas. Like doubtful Thomas, or Thomas the tank engine mate. Have a wonderful day from flooded Victoria.

[russkubes]

I'm surprised he didn't just call it Peter. Lol

[ragohy]

Hi Andy, now it is "grad" (gerade) 🍻cheers

[silvanocometta]

Wow. Well done. Thanks.
Question: Your VRM shows the menu item "remote console" on the dark background. Mine does not. Am I doing something wrong? How do I get that me nu item listed? Best regards from Switzerland, Silvano

Hi Andy i have a question about the relays on the cerbo. i have a server rack with 5 BYD 5k batteries, the rack has a built in fans in the top that are 240v. i have the temp sensor from the cerbo running into the rack and wanted to have them turn on when we have hot days. I can see how to operate the relay from the temp sensor but im not sure on how to make the cerbo's relay switch on some form of 240v relay to activate the fans.
Is this able to be achieved
