Live Solar & Battery Dashboard
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Local Victron dashboard for Bluetooth Instant Readout or Cerbo/Venus OS WiFi systems. No Boardstrom account, no VRM/cloud dashboard.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Boardstrom reads your devices' Bluetooth advertisements locally on your phone. Your energy data is never sent anywhere - there are no servers and no account to create.

New in 1.1.0
WiFi monitoring. Boardstrom can now read your Victron system over your local network in addition to Bluetooth. With a Cerbo GX or any Venus OS device, turn on MQTT and see your system from anywhere on the same WiFi.
You can also switch between Bluetooth and WiFi in Settings without restarting. This update adds a crash recovery screen and a live data freshness indicator on the dashboard.
