-The Wireless AC sensors are used to measure and calculate PV Inverter current (A), voltage (V), power (W) and energy (kWh), and show it on a [[https://www.victronenergy.com/panel-systems-remote-monitoring/colorcontrol|Color Control GX]] and the [[https://vrm.victronenergy.com|VRM Portal]]. An installation will have one gateway per system and one sensor per phase. The gateway connects to the Color Control via Ethernet, and is the DECT hub for the sensors.

-Note that it is not possible to use multiple sensors on the same position (AC-Out, AC-In 1, etcetera) in a system. The CCGX will in such case only show the value of the last-read sensor. +Note that it is not possible to use multiple sensors on the same position (AC-Out, AC-In 1, etcetera) in a system.
