I adore the Victron monitoring ecosystem. Data is easily and clearly available, can be viewed via an app, via a webpage, via a console … there is even a widget for tablets. Dead simple, super robust. Great and easy access to historical data.
My home system is currently based around a GroWatt all-in-one. I found the GroWatt monitoring ecosystem very cumbersome and non-intuitive. Webpage only, info via a very cumbersome WiFi-dongle, etc etc. So annoying so that I actually installed a separate Victron SCC and Smartshunt so that I can use the Victron ecosystem instead.
I am very tempted by the latest EG4 18k hybrid unit. The built-in 600V SCC is a major upgrade from my current Victron unit, so it would no longer make sense to maintain the Victron components and thereby the Victron monitoring system. I am not familiar with the EG4 monitoring ecosystem … what I can find on the internet looks an awful lot like an extended version of my previous GroWatt experience…… which is a major negative for me.
Can I please request some advice from people using the EG4 monitoring system today? Is it useful/accessible?
Thank you!
