We will add the Victron integration to Home Assistant using Victron MQTT. This will give us real-time values from the Cerbo/Venus system in Home Assistant and at the same time allow us to control the PV system via Home Assistant. If you have a Victron EV charger, it is automatically part of the Victron system.

In this post, we'll install Duplicati, which can regularly back up our PiCloud/PiNAS/PiWork or PiHome either to an external USB drive, locally over the network, or to the cloud.
