I changed out the order and the the 100/30 is in the far right port, (as you are looking at it) and the 100/50 is in the middle port, and the Smart Shunt is in the far left port. The 100/20 is connected to the far left USB port. So far it's working, I think the order was the problem, the 277...

I switched the cables between 2 of the controllers.

I did update the firmware today so maybe that will fix it.

I am thinking now I may have a bad cable, I have unhooked the one causing problems, and if the other one doesnt cause any problems, I will switch the cables and see if that changes things.

It did at again, but now on just one controller.

I have completely rerouted the VE.Direct cables away from all other cables and it seems to be working now. I rerouted the VE cables up the left side instead of the right side where the cables are. It appears to be RF from the 12 volt cables. I'll keep watching it today, and see what happens.

Does it matter in which order the VE.Direct port are hooked up? Like the first port on the left is number 1?

That didn't work either. With just 1 controller hooked up and the cable relocated it is still doing it. Next I will switch the cables and see if it still does it.

OK I had one of the VE.Direct cables clamped with the 12v power cable, so I have removed it from the clamp, and hooked it back up.

I will try separating them and hooking up one at a time and see if that changes things.

OK I have it all hooked up and I am having strange problems with it. It first started with the 100/50 controller. The watt output was bouncing from 0 to maybe 50 watts. After I unhooked the VE.Direct cable it went back to normal. Then it started it again the next morning, so I unplugged it and...

Also when I add the 100/20 controller I'm not planning on using it all the time. It will connect to my portable panels. Will is cause problems if I unhook the panels from controller for days or weeks at a time???

I already have 3 VE.direct devices, SmartShunt a 100/50 and a 100/30 controller, and don't have any more room, unless I use this cable.

I think I figured it out. I can use one of these. https://www.amazon.com/Victron-Energy-VE-Direct-USB-Cable/dp/B01LZ6WTLW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=35634KV711PK9&keywords=VE.Direct+to+USB+interface&qid=1675111480&s=electronics&sprefix=ve.direct+to+usb+interface%2Celectronics%2C356&sr=1-1

I think since the 100/20 will just be used when I put out the portables, that I will not add it to the Cerbo GX. I plan to add an on and off switch to the 100/20 to turn it off when not in use.
