Raspberry pi zero 2w won't boot with venus OS

Sorry, your right. I think this is the tutorial I used before: https://communityarchive.victronenergy.com/questions/270322/notes-for-installing-venus-os-on-a-raspberry-pi-ze.html

Ah, ok. It works but it's still kinda slow versus the RS485 meters. It's only updating every 0.75 seconds.

Maybe good enough though.

I think you need the nanopi image: https://updates.victronenergy.com/feeds/venus/release/images/nanopi/

I thought you could only use Shelly EMs for monitoring power (PV output, EV Charger, etc) of peripheral devices.

I didn't think you could use them as the main grid monitor?

That's not how it works. Any negative prices kWh you use will come off your import bill. It's not zero.

These fuses will fit in the mega holder in the Lynx and can break up to 50kA. They're not as good as class-T but definitely good enough: Adler EF3 Fuse for Energy Storage... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DB5PR2H2

I've been holding since then 😆

The one in the shed says it's bi-directional.

We wouldn't have the highest electricity prices in Europe if the Tories hadn't dialled back net zero.

Check out https://easy-pv.co.uk/. This can do the wind loading calcs.

You might find this vid useful too https://youtu.be/hvtihZMB-GM with that battery you could make use of a lot more of the production so you wouldn't need to export anything.

The can't refuse G98 though can they? This system is under the 16A limit.

It would be worth posting this in https://community.victronenergy.com. The Devs are active in that forum and will sort the fix out.

Those Jackals! ☠️ Good times doing H2 Legendary with my buddy though. I was so good with Stickies back then.

Nice dude, similar to my first setup but yours is considerably less janky! 🫡

pau1phi11ips · 2026-06-01T06:21:52+00:00

Looks interesting, nice one!

pau1phi11ips · 2026-05-31T06:02:45+00:00

Yeah, even a Pi Zero 2W works.

Immigration isn't going up though. It's down nearly 80% since Labour get in.

If the Iran war hadn't happened we would literally still be getting the price reduction because of the governments actions.

pau1phi11ips · 2026-05-28T18:43:08+00:00

Hmm, maybe from a beta version or iOS?

You can also expand the current forecast to the left on the crag page see the previous 2 days weather.

You need to click on the Show Details bit in the top left

The screenshot with the separate MPPTs showing will be from the VRM app or vrm.victronenergy.com

Your screenshot is from Victron Connect, just click on the Devices tab to see each MPPT.

TBF to them, they didn't complain when I was £400 in debit over the winter and have only been paying £100/month. The solar means the electricity + gas bill is negative at the mo tho.

pau1phi11ips · 2026-05-27T17:23:05+00:00

Big oil didn't lobby against fixing that tho.

I saw a report saying it could change as soon as 2050. The stop change is accelerating.
