We are excited to announce that our VRM App is now available on smartwatches! You can now monitor your Victron system on the go, directly from your wrist. With VRM on your smartwatch, keeping an eye on essential aspects of your system has never been easier. Quickly view the state of charge, solar power, grid consumption, battery status, load levels, and more. You can even control the EV charging station – all without needing to open your phone or tablet. Here’s everything you need to know.
What You Can See on Your Smartwatch
The VRM app offers detailed insights into your power system through three main displays:
1. Overview
The Overview screen offers an essential snapshot of your system, displaying:
- Grid Power (W) – Track your current power draw from the grid.
- Battery Status (%) – Monitor the remaining charge percentage of your battery.
- PV Power (W) – See how much solar power your panels are generating.
- Loads (W) – Check how much power your appliances are using.
If there are multiple installations, a screen will display a list of all installations before showing the Overview screen. You can star up to five installations to prioritise them at the top of the list.
2. Temperature Readings
Get temperature information across different areas:
- Display temperature readings from sensors located in specific areas or devices. If there are more than four temperature readings, the additional readings will be displayed on the next screen.
3. EV Charging Status
The VRM app also provides detailed information about your electric vehicle charging, allowing you to:
- View Charging Power (W), Energy (kWh), and Current (A).
- If the system includes multiple EV charging stations, an overview page will display all the stations.
- Remotely start or stop EV charging directly from your smartwatch, giving you full control without needing to reach for another device.
