VRM App updated for iOS and Android

The latest updated VRM app for Android devices and phones and iPads and iPhones, is now available.

What’s new?

  • Added the option to add photos to a site. Admins can now add photos of a site underneath the Site details. Regular users can view the photos.

Site example

Here you can see I have uploaded three photos to my site on an iPhone.

 Image explanation

Here’s a little additional information for those of you who might be curious about the small numbers in the image above.

On my Color Control GX, my AC limit in for my Multi is currently set to zero with the MultiPlus set to Charger On, as I don’t want any further charge in my house batteries. This still provides AC onboard in ‘Pass Thru’ mode, to boil a kettle for example. The 16 Watts DC is running my 3G+ router and GPS dongle which is connected to the  CCGX, so the information can be uploaded in real time (1 minute logging intervals set at present) to the VRM Portal.

As you can see today, there is little solar harvest from my 2 x 30W panels, wired in series, for my 24V system. It’s a late autumn afternoon and overcast with no sunshine. We hope however, the new features in the updated app brings you a little sunshine 😉
