Dude you're an absolute genius and exactly the one I needed right now in front on my Victron's equipment juste saying myself "that's to expensive, let's try something with a pie!" Thank's a lot and lot of love!

[@tobisreallifeskillswithtobi]

Awesome this helps you! Thanks for watching and your feedback 🙂

[@TheSnakeman3]

I will be installing my 12/3000/120 2x120 soon with my Pie4 so this is all good stuff. Thanks and keep it coming please.

[@tobisreallifeskillswithtobi]

Thank you!

[@JMX246]

Perfect timing - just installed a Multiplus in our Camper Van - will be adding an RPI4 and VenusOS next

[@mateuszmazur1482]

Nice! Fun fact :) Litteraly yesterday I was reinstalling my MPII + VenusOS. Open to hear your experiences!

[@tobisreallifeskillswithtobi]

Thanks for watching! I will share them for sure over the next weeks and months!

[@mateuszmazur1482]

​@@tobisreallifeskillswithtobi Thanks. Aspecially if you mind focusing on ESS Assistant. Still no so clear for me. Looks easy but I'm not sure I'm doing everything right.

[@DannyCsaszar]

Happy to see you have new blue stuff. I just got the multi-plus II and ever since I plugged in the mk3 to my pi 4 every now and then it disconnects all the devices. This was fixed for a while. I'll try the duppa part and see if that resolves my issue. Thanks a bunch for the tip

[@tobisreallifeskillswithtobi]

Thanks for watching! I will see how mine performs in combination with RPI

[@coronafehatalent]

can you please when you try the combination show us feedback ? @@tobisreallifeskillswithtobi

Victron has Orion-Tr 48/12-30 (360 W) a 48-12V converter.

[@tobisreallifeskillswithtobi]

Thanks, let me check on this! I was not aware of it!

[@markcouzyn4662]

@@tobisreallifeskillswithtobiThey also have any number of MPPT which will view the 48v battery pack as a PV panel and charge a 12v battery very efficiently

[@skinnysim]

wondering if the MK3-USB-C is same as a regular ethernet to usb adaptor, 60-80 $ for the victron one seems excessive,

[@pulith5220]

Hi 1stly a nice explanation of all. I think you need to reduce the absorption charge voltage to about 3.45-3.50v (55.2V- 56V) you don't want the inverter to charge your batter to the full 3.65V (58.4V) you can check the offgrid garage from Andy. He had done so many battery tests. You want the bms to be the last line of defense so u want the charging to stop before n if it don't stop then the bms will stop it.

[@tobisreallifeskillswithtobi]

Good call and thanks for pointing out! I just adjusted everything according to the battery manufacturer. :-)

[@ylisko9349]

Good guide, thanks. Why did you use the MK3 cable. Can't it be configured via raspberry pi?

[@christopherboone5461]

Hi Looking at installing a multiplus II 12v/3000. Like to use raspberry pi Venus os to monitor. Could I use a tablet with Bluetooth to display and monitor the victron.

[@tobisreallifeskillswithtobi]

You would need a Bluetooth dongle I believe for the Multiplus to monitor with the app - just speaking about the Multiplus . I hope this helps!

[@makersergio5773]

Hola Tobi, qué sistema operativo has usado para ver la temperatura de la raspi y los datos más exhaustivos en la consola remota? Saludos

[@tobisreallifeskillswithtobi]

Thanks for watching! The PRI is using VenusOS which is based on Linux. There are a lot of videos on my channel about VenusOS ;-)

[@makersergio5773]

@@tobisreallifeskillswithtobi hola, cómo puedo instalar ese OS en mi raspi? Quiero tener sensor de temperatura ya que donde la voy a poner hace mucho calor, así controlar que todo vaya bien. O si me puedes enviar el vídeo de cómo instalar las sondas de temperatura te lo agradecería. Un saludo y gracias por todos tus videos
