What's New in AmpWidgets

2.4

September 17, 2026

• Redesigned History: one chart shows what your energy was actually made of — grid, battery and solar — with solar generation and export alongside it. Same view across 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days; tap any bar for the exact split. • New metric: AC Input Current — your shore amps, reported for the busiest leg, so you can see how close you are to tripping the pedestal breaker. • New metric: Grid Share — one number for how much you're leaning on shore power versus your own solar and battery. • Fixed: "Grid In Today" and "Grid Out Today" were showing your meter's lifetime totals instead of today's energy. They're now correct, and the lifetime readings are available as Grid In Total and Grid Out Total. • Daily figures now follow your installation's time zone, so they match the VRM portal wherever you are. • Alerts can wait for a value to be bad on several checks in a row before notifying, so a brief dip no longer wakes you. • New system status banner: see when VRM is raising an alarm, when your system stops reporting, or when a single device goes quiet. • Faster setup: paste your API token and pick your installation from a list instead of hunting for its ID. • Fixed: deleted installations no longer reappear after syncing between devices. • Mac: the menu bar now holds up to six readings, added one at a time, and updates as often as your system reports to VRM — as fast as every 60 seconds. • Mac: keyboard shortcuts and menu commands (⌘R to refresh, ⌘1–⌘4 to switch sections), editable installations, and a layout that uses the window properly.

Way better than Victron app

I wanted to be able to glance my phone to see my Victron system and was frustrated with having to wait for each load, I figured there must be an easier way so I went looking but found pretty much nothing. I stumbled on AmpWidgets and it looked to do exactly what I wanted. Live feeds of battery percentage, current solar input (plus lots of other metric options), all on my home screen.

This was great, but in a perfect setup I wanted more stats on the big widget, as well as time remaining on battery based on load. So I wrote to the dev and to my surprise he replied within a day, created the big widget and added the time remaining option.

Excellent app and excellent support. An easy recommend if you’re tired of constantly navigating through the Victron app just to check your system status like I was (it’s also significantly prettier if aesthetics are important)

Response from developer

Glad you're enjoying AmpWidgets and looking forward to continuing to make the app better for you.

Quick support and update

I was having issues viewing data due to my having multiple Victron smart devices, I contacted Chad and he resolved my issues and updated his app in very little time, so I now have all the data I need. Thanks

Response from developer

Thanks for trying out AmpWidgets! Appreciate the support and look forward to continuing to make the app better for you.

Rock Solid Update

Initial version had some bugs but all seem to be resolved now.

doesn’t work

instructions in app don’t correspond to options in vrm. can’t enable api access for
the app so no widgets

Worse item by Victron

I mean seriously!!! White lettering on white background?!?! You guys obviously do not care about this widget!! And no clear instructions on how to set it up. Would have to be a Nasa scientist to figure it out! I wasted 1 hr of my life and even paid for this for nothing.
