The Boardstrom Flow view: solar, battery, and load as live rings
Live dashboard

Everything that matters, in real time.

State of charge, solar input, battery power, and consumption, read directly from your Victron devices and updated live. Walk past your van, boat, or cabin and know exactly where things stand.

Two ways to connect

You only need one. Pick what fits your system.

Boardstrom gets your data one of two ways, and you choose whichever suits your setup with a single switch in Settings. It's one or the other, not both.

Over Bluetooth. Boardstrom reads the signals your Victron gear already broadcasts, right on your phone. No Cerbo, no GX device, no network setup, nothing extra to buy. This is all most systems need, and it's where Boardstrom shines.

Over WiFi, from a Victron GX device. Already have a Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX, or Venus OS box? Point Boardstrom at it and read your whole system over your local network instead.

Boardstrom is the always-on glance at your system, right on your phone, with no Cerbo or internet needed. It sits alongside VictronConnect and VRM, not against them.

Solar forecast · Pro

See days ahead, not just now.

Boardstrom learns your solar and your usage, then projects your battery days into the future. It tells you when you'll drop to your warning level and when you'd run empty, so you know whether to move into the sun, run the engine, or ease off, before it's a problem.

No cloud service does this for you. It runs entirely on your phone from your own history.

Beyond energy

Tanks and temperatures, too.

Boardstrom isn't only Victron. Add Mopeka tank sensors and Ruuvi thermometers over Bluetooth, or read the tanks and temperature probes wired to your GX device, and they show up as tiles right beside your power. Fresh water, grey water, fridge, outside temperature, all in one place.

For Venus OS systems

Already have a Cerbo or GX device?

Then you've probably got a Venus dashboard wired in already. Boardstrom adds what that one fixed screen can't:

  • As many dashboards as you want. Run Boardstrom on every phone and tablet in WiFi range. One at the helm, one in the cabin, one by the bed, all live at once.
  • No internet, no account. Everything stays on your own network. No VRM login, no cloud, works even when you're miles from a signal.
  • Turn your inverter on and off. Switch a MultiPlus, Quattro, or Phoenix inverter straight from the dashboard, with a confirm every time. (Pro.)
  • Your whole system in one view. The GX hands Boardstrom everything it sees, including devices that never broadcast over Bluetooth.

Demo mode

Try it before you set anything up.

No Victron gear paired yet? Turn on Demo Mode and the dashboard fills with a fully simulated system (live tiles, charts, and history) so you can explore everything Boardstrom does before configuring your first device.

Works with your Victron gear

Over Bluetooth, Boardstrom reads any Victron device that broadcasts Instant Readout. Over WiFi, a Victron GX device hands it your whole system at once, including devices that don't advertise over Bluetooth.

Private by design

Over Bluetooth, Boardstrom reads your devices' advertisements locally on your phone. Over WiFi, it talks directly to your Victron GX device on your own network. Either way, your energy data is never sent anywhere. There are no servers, and no account to create.

The App Store privacy label says it plainly: No Data Collected.

Great on iPad, too

The same live dashboard, with room to breathe.

Built for real systems

Made by someone who lives with it.

Boardstrom is built and tested every day on a real Victron van system, and shaped by a growing community of van, boat, and cabin owners. New devices and features come straight from what people actually ask for.
