Victron Venus GX Central Communication Gateway

Victron Venus GX Central Communication Gateway

Panels and system monitoring

The Venus GX is the communication-centre of your installation. Venus allows you to talk to all components in your system and ensure they are working in harmony. Monitoring of live data, and changing settings is performed by using your smartphone (or other device) via our free-to-use Victron Remote Management Portal (VRM).

Intuitive system overview - all you need to know

As soon as you 'log on' Venus GX provides an instant overview of your system: Battery state of charge; present power consumption; power harvest from PV; power provision from mains/generator. 

The full power of Victron Remote Management

Victron Remote Management (VRM) provides you with full access to the very extensive controls and settings of all system-components which are connected to either your CCGX or Venus GX. It allows remote user and installer login - from anywhere, at anytime. This powerful application also provides for hassle-free diagnostic checks and analysis of archived information.

Automatic Generator start/stop

The Venus GX can be programmed to auto-start your generator - triggered by low-voltage; high-demand; or battery state of charge. It can be further tailored to delay ignition until the end of 'quiet' periods - avoiding accidental nuisance at dead of night.

Remote Console - control everything from anywhere...

Remote Console provides visual access to the live data and settings of your Venus GX ...and because it's remote - you can do that from anywhere in the world.

ESS: Energy Storage Systems - 24 hour Monitoring

The Venus GX manages Energy Storage Systems. It keeps back-up batteries at 100% ; kicks-in during power-cuts; and diverts excess (solar) power to self-consumption - saving you money. For examples and more detailed information see the ESS (Energy Storage System) manual.
