    I just installed a Victron Multiplus II 3000 inverter on my 53 along with the remote control

    the remote only has a couple of LEDs and a dial to adjust charging rate. No voltage, amps etc.

    did I miss something? Is there another remote that’s available to display basic data? All I see is a VE Bus option to use a computer …

    What are you looking to see? I think you need the inverter and also battery monitor to see everything. I also have a Cerbo GX plus display which allows me to see everything going on from both the display and my phone/computer.

    For blue-tooth connect, I recall the BMV-712 battery module is needed.
    I would hope the inverter would come with some op panel it-self.

    I was just a Master-Volt jobber then moved to Magnum (Dimensions) power. They had original wimpy op panels and better panels were an option.
    You may be in this same boat.
    I have lost track of Victron products, Just looking now, their new web site sux.

    Landing back on our dock tonight;
    If your Victron rep can not help, I can look up my notes when I get over my many phobias (land, doctors, lawyers, ex-wives, bill collectors, politicians) and walk back on shore and get back to my desk. This will take a few days to climatize my self. Still have near another week of groceries on da boat but for you brother,,
    I'll try to tap into my LAN from here..
    Then, I can find my old notes for you without touching that dirty land..

    Here is what I can see in my portal but this is with a multiplex, BMV-712, and CerboGX. I don’t have my tank levels hooked up here but I do have my bilge pumps hooked up so I’ll get notifications if it ever goes off.

    Use a Victron App on your smartphone rather than a remote?
    (I had a Victron MPPT charge controller on both iPhone and iPad, pretty impressed with the
    Tech and the interface)
