4 sensors?! bloody show off!!

AND hot water! Good grief

It's not actually 23 deg C here in Yorkshire...

My external sensor is under the fuel flap, and with a black van any direct sun means that reading is basically useless...

It hit 31 degrees in the warm sun yesterday!

How do you get this Ruuvi display? I don't see that. Is it an Android vs iOS thing? Can't see how to get it on the web VRM either.

add the BT ruvvis to the CERBO,

then when they are in range of the cerbo they will show,

remember to add the widgets in VRM,

and the screen above is the NEW GUI for the remote, that you can choose from the VRM menu,

It's a pretty simple setup (not cheap obvs!) and seems a logical way to put "excess" power from solar to good use if/when I'm somewhere sunny enough!
12v immersion
The sun is out so i'll be spending my lunch break re-mounting the solar panel to the roof prep channel.

That is a significant GUI upgrade. Cheers!

I done the same with the fuel flap ruvvi.

But it's the inside temp I'm surprised with ...

35c !!! Grey van that insulated..... But all day sitting in some sun with no windows open so add up.

That's why I did away with the WiFi and just hard wired it with ethernet!

OK, I hope I'm being a fool, I was expecting the Tenda to come up on the WiFi list, because it does occasionally, but it probably won't if its connected via the ethernet cable, the Cerbo says ethernet is enabled. I really don't get out enough in the van, it's been sat sitting on the drive for 9 days. Friday is test day... Sunday a trip to Oxford to take the nipper to a university offer holder day. I'm excited to see how much data it robs me on 'realtime' mode.

I had the issue because it kept trying to connect to the 5g but I sorted that and it's been solid on 2.4g.

That's a very valid point...

The Cerbo is 2.4ghz only....

Some modern routers are 2.4/5g and can auto switch.... So you may need to disable the 5g wifi feature on the router.

Exactly what I had to do. And thats on the Roam X so easy enough

I've had the VRM portal loaded on my laptop with realtime running for pretty much the entire working day before and it's used...
