Victron power monitoring (GX + MQTT)

What it does

RoamCore includes a Victron integration path that turns your Victron GX + battery/solar system into clean Home Assistant entities (SOC, solar watts, etc.) and dashboard tiles.

Why it’s useful in a van

  • See battery SOC and solar input at a glance
  • Catch charging/inverter issues early
  • Build simple automations like “low battery alert” without custom code

How to install

  • A Victron GX device (e.g. Cerbo GX) or equivalent that can publish telemetry

  • Your existing Victron battery/solar hardware

  • See: docs/runbooks/victron-integration.md

  • See: docs/guides/victron-connect-flow.md
  • HA packages:
  • homeassistant/packages/roamcore_power.yaml
  • homeassistant/packages/roamcore_victron_health.yaml
  • (Add Victron docs / MQTT notes / videos here later)
