root@nanopi:# nano /data/etc/dbus-serialbattery/utils.py
root@nanopi:# /data/log/dbus-serialbattery.ttyUSB0/current
-sh: /data/log/dbus-serialbattery.ttyUSB0/current: No such file or directory
root@nanopi:~#

do you know why the devices name changed to "nanopi"?

is it possible to use the daly instead of an smart shunt with a usb port with a usb hub (as i use the only port on my multi with the energy meter)?

The build in GX devices (so for instance Multiplus II GX) use a NanoPi device inside.
So NanoPi is just the name of the mini computer inside on which your VenusOS runs. You can find a list of the hardware mapped to the devices that Victron sells at https://github.com/victronenergy/venus/wiki/machines.

The built in GX devices do have less outside ports available, but if you add a USB-Hub and then connect all your USB devices to that it will work perfectly.

Hi Lukas
The wiki and FAQ is a good source to help you get it installed. There is also a Youtube video in the how to install page that shows all the steps.
You are always welcome to ask questions. I'll try to answer as best I can and it helps to know what is missing in the instructions.

Coffee here in my town cost about ZAR 50 a cup, which would be around 3 CHF ☕.
I've been in Switzerland a few years ago. We took the Glacier Express to St Moritz and it was snowing most of the way. The next day on the Bernina Express was all sunshine 😃
