No separate apps required. Remote Console Access: Operate switches from anywhere in the world through Victron's VRM portal. Forgot to turn off the anchor light? Log in remotely. Energy-Aware Automation: STAR Controllers can read battery voltage, state of charge, and charging status from the CAN bus. Create rules like "dim cabin lights to 50% when battery drops below 40%." Unified Tank and Temperature Display: STAR-Tank wireless sensors appear on Victron displays alongside switching controls—fresh water, grey water, black water, and fuel all visible at a glance.

Step 3: Tap any channel to toggle on/off. Long-press for dimming controls where applicable. Step 4: The Tank & Temp page displays STAR-Tank sensor data alongside any other tank sensors in your system. Step 2: Connect a VE.CAN cable from the Cerbo GX VE.CAN port to CAN port on STAR Controller. Step 3: If installing multiple STAR Controllers, daisy-chain them using T-connectors for each additional STAR controller. Step 4: Install a VE.CAN terminator on the last device in the chain. The Cerbo GX has an additional slot for a blue Victron 120Ohm terminator. Step 5: Power up the system. Cerbo GX Configuration Step 1: Navigate to Settings → Services → VE.CAN Ports . Step 2: Ensure the VE.CAN port shows "250 kbit/s" and "VE.CAN & CAN-bus BMS". Step 3: Go to Device List . Your STAR Controllers should appear automatically within 30 seconds. Step 4: Select each STAR Controller to assign custom names and configure channel labels. Enabling Digital Switching Pages The Victron Touch Display includes dedicated pages for STAR Controller operation. Step 1: On the GX Touch, swipe left to access additional pages.

Why Radar? Unlike resistive senders that corrode, ultrasonic sensors that clog, or capacitive probes tfohragtedtriitf.t, radar works without any component inside the tank. Mount it on top, calibrate once, and Installation Options Metal Tanks: Bolt directly to the tank top using the included flange. The radar signal penetrates steel and aluminium. Plastic/Fibreglass Tanks: Either bolt using the flange or adhere with marine-grade adhesive. Works through walls up to 25mm thick. Black Water Tanks: Radar is ideal here—no sensor inside the tank means nothing to foul or corrode. Mount on top, away from inlet turbulence.

Step 2: Open the Victron Display and go to connections > Bluetooth devices > add STAR tanks. Step 3: Calibrate by setting the "empty" and "full" distances. Step 4: Assign the tank type (fresh, grey, black, fuel). Step 5: Tank levels appear on the Victron Touch Display and in VRM.

Commission Matter devices - Add sensors, bulbs, and switches directly to your STAR system 2. Execute local automations - Process sensor data and trigger actions without cloud involvement 3. Bridge to other ecosystems - Expose STAR channels as Matter devices for Apple, Google, and Samsung apps Matter Over Thread vs WiFi STAR Controllers support both: • Matter over Thread: For battery-powered sensors and switches. Low power, mesh networking. • Matter over WiFi: For higher-bandwidth devices like cameras. Section 2: Matter Integration This section covers smart home integration using the Matter protocol. You don't need Victron equipment to use Matter—STAR Controllers work directly with any Matter-compatible platform. However, if you have Victron integration, it can co-exist with Matter. 2.1 What is Matter?

Why Matter Matters for Marine & RV Works Without Internet: Matter was designed for local-first operation. Every automation, every control command works identically at the dock or 50 kms offshore.

Use Matter scenes for quick presets, Victron modes for energy-linked presets. 3. Test failover by disconnecting each system and verifying others continue working. 2. 7:15 AM: IKEA motion sensor detects movement in galley, triggers coffee machine outlet via STAR-Power. 3. Solar charging begins: Victron MPPT sees sunrise, STAR Controller reads charging state, enables water heater. 4. 8:00 AM: "Hey Siri, Day Cruising mode" sets all lights to practical levels, captured in Victron VRM as mode change. Every system participated. All state changes logged. No internet required. Configuration Tips 1. Name channels consistently across all platforms—"Salon Lights" everywhere, not "Light 1" in some apps. Practical Benefits Professional Control + Consumer Access: • Technicians and serious cruisers use Victron tools for system monitoring • Guests and family use familiar smartphone apps • Everyone sees consistent state Redundancy: • If your internet fails, Victron local control works • If Cerbo loses power, Matter devices still function • If all electronics fail, physical keypads operate Best-of-Both Automations: • Victron side: Energy-aware rules (dim when battery low) • Matter side: Sensor-triggered rules (motion activates lights) • Both execute locally, both stay in sync Example Combined System Morning at Anchor: 1. 7:00 AM: Google Home automation brightens cabin lights gradually.
