Victron to Awtrix display
Node-RED flow for Victron GX device and AWTRIX LED Matrix Display
Installation
-
Enable MQTT broker on Victron GX: Go to Settings -> Services -> MQTT on the menus of the GX device
-
Enable Node-RED on Victron GX: https://www.victronenergy.com/live/venus-os:large
-
Go to Node-RED web ui at address https://<victron-gx-ip>:1881 and import flow.json
-
Set variables in SET vars node
-
Update MQTT broker connection in mqtt node (if needed)
-
Download following icons used in this flow into Awtrix display via Icons tab:
- 49139
- 6363
- 54465
- 55567
- 6362
- 6361
- 6360
- 6359
- 33655
- 54367
