7.1. Accessing the Remote Console via local LAN/WiFi Network
This section explains how to connect to Remote Console when the Color Control GX is connected to the local computer network
with either an Ethernet cable, or having it configured to connect to a local WiFi network.
This method does not require an internet connection. Just a local computer network is sufficient.
Once connected, connect to the GX device by running the VictronConnect app on a phone, tablet or laptop.
Note that it will need
to be connected to the same computer network as the Color Control GX.
This video shows how it is done.
7.1.1. Alternative methods to find the IP address for Remote Console
In case VictronConnect can't be used, here are a few other methods to find the Color Control GX, ie. its IP address.
Link Local Address - Venus.local
When the Remote Console on LAN setting is enabled, a direct connection (via network cable without a router or DHCP server)
is possible. You can access the GX device by typing venus.local or http://venus.local into a web browser, or in VictronConnect
when connected to the same network. Only enable this function on trusted networks or direct connections. Make sure you have
disabled the password check, or set a password first.
IP Address on VRM
On the VRM Portal, you'll find the IP address on the Device list page of the installation. Note that this does require the Color
Control GX to be connected to the internet.
