This is the Terminal screen where it's been running most of the day. The benefit is that I might want to turn on the crockpot later in the morning after the system is producing sufficient power (but not before).
12V batteries, right?
Not necessarily. A typical 12V battery charges up to about 13.5V (12.5% over) or so when it's really charged. A 6V lead-acid battery charges up to 7.4V (23% over). That smaller ... View More

We are excited to announce the release of Venus OS v3.50. A massive milestone and improvement for our range of GX control and monitoring solutions. Whether you’re managing a system at home, in a marin
For instance, I have written today a Python script which runs on my MacBook if I'd like to monitor the battery voltage. Every fifteen minutes it will speak the value to me.
In addition, I have several things plugged into power via a TP-Link and/or TAPO smartplug device. These devices have a programming interface so that you can also toggle them ON/OFF as you need to. You may combine this with any of the above Victron-related code to make things run for you.
I have two preferred providers of solar equipment at the moment but they're a long drive into Arizona. The first is NAZ (Flagstaff) and the second is San-Tan (below Phoenix). My preferred manufacturer... View More
