You're juggling solar, batteries, and a generator with no single view. This 7" touchscreen hub runs Venus OS to centralize control, and its built-in display removes the need for a separate monitor so you can see everything in one place.
When your power setup has solar, batteries, generator input, and other gear all working at once, bouncing between separate apps and device screens gets old fast. The Ekrano GX puts system control in one place with an integrated 7" waterproof touchscreen running Venus OS, so you can work from a single dashboard instead of piecing the story together one component at a time. Its live views show power flow from grid, generator, alternator, wind, and solar sources, along with battery state of charge, energy consumption, and overall system performance. You walk up, see what's happening right now, and make changes from the same screen.
Power problems don't wait until you're standing in front of the control panel. This unit covers both local and off-site access with remote monitoring and control through the VRM portal and VictronConnect app, backed by real-time system data on the display itself. It also tracks tank levels and environmental data for fresh water, fuel, waste tanks, temperature, and humidity, with customizable labels and alerts. Instead of guessing what changed since the last time you checked, you can pull up the system, see current conditions, and react before a small issue turns into a bigger one.
Manual workarounds get messy when loads change, charging sources come and go, or the system needs different behavior at different times. The Ekrano GX goes past basic monitoring with flexible system configuration, adjustment of input current limits, remote generator control, customizable alerts and alarms, and advanced automation support using Node-RED for custom logic flows. It's also built around an extremely powerful quad core processor that manages connected Victron products and supported third-party devices with ease. In practice, that gives you a control center that can react to system conditions in a more deliberate way instead of leaving every adjustment up to constant hands-on intervention.
A fixed control screen only earns its place if it can handle real-world exposure and still stay readable and accessible. This unit uses a durable aluminum casing and a waterproof display rated IP54 at the front when installed with the steel bracket, with a slim design optimized for flush panel or blind hole mounting and accessible rear connections. Dark mode gives you a lower-light viewing option, and the touch disable button lets you lock or re-enable the screen when needed. Once it's mounted correctly, you get a clean, always-on control point that stays put and stands up better in tougher environments than a loose tablet or add-on display.
Compatibility questions usually show up once the system grows beyond a few basic components. The Ekrano GX tackles that with a broad port set that includes 3 VE.Direct ports, 1 Bus with 2 paralleled RJ45 sockets, isolated VE.Can, non-isolated VE.Can, Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth Smart, 2 USB ports, and a MicroSD card slot. It also supports seamless integration with marine MFDs and NMEA 2000 systems for monitoring and control from a glass bridge. When the system includes more than just the core electrical pieces, those connection options give you a cleaner path to pulling everything into the same control structure instead of leaving parts of the setup off on their own.

Hi, everyone. Steven here with etrailer. Today, we're taking a closer look at the Victron Energy Ekrano GX. It's a powerful all-in-one communication center designed to give you a complete, visible, and control over your Victron power system. Now, at the heart of this Ekrano GX is this built-in seven-inch capacitative screen, and this is gonna give you clear, responsive interface without needing an external display. Right from the screen, you can monitor battery state of charge, proper flow, solar production, generator status, tank levels, temperatures, all that in real time.
And the GX runs on Victron's Venus OS, which ties your entire system together. They communicate seamlessly with the Victron inverters, chargers, solar charge controllers, battery monitors, smart batteries, and this is gonna be your central hub for the installation. Now, one of the biggest advantages is the connectivity. You saw the connections back there, whether it's V dot BUS, dot CAN, dot direct, USB, ethernet, WIFI. It's gonna make it real easy to integrate the system between each other.
And as you know, these are complex systems. You do get all the rest of the hardware here as far as mounting the monitor and everything. You also get the two RJ45 terminals here as well. So again, everything you need is gonna be included as far as the touch screen itself. And you can lock the touch screen.
That's gonna prevent accidental or unauthorized changes, which is especially useful if you have a shared setup, whether it's a commercial setup, those kinda things. It's designed for domain and environments. It does feature a waterproof front panel and a nice, rugged aluminum housing. It's got some weight to it. It's very impressive from what I can tell and look at it up close.
Again, great for marine, RV, off-grid, backup applications. It has built-in technology, so vibration's not gonna harm it, moisture, your normal daily use. This is gonna do a great job and hold up to anything you can throw at it. Well, folks, that's gonna wrap up our quick look together. As always, you can reach out to us here at etrailer for any other questions or comments you may need. Also, I recommend if you're not gonna install this or the rest of the system with Victron yourself, you can locate a local dealer in your area by using our dealer locator tool over at etrailer.com. I'm Steven, thanks for watching.
