The Victron Colour Control GX (CCGX) is a central monitoring and control device designed to provide complete oversight of Victron energy systems. Acting as the communication hub of a power installation, the CCGX connects inverter/chargers, solar charge controllers, battery monitors, lithium battery systems, generators, tanks, and other devices into a single intuitive interface. It allows users to monitor, configure, and control their entire system locally or remotely through Victron's VRM (Victron Remote Management) Portal.

Featuring a full-colour display and running Victron's Venus OS platform, the Colour Control GX provides real-time information on battery status, solar production, inverter operation, shore power, generator performance, tank levels, and energy consumption. It is commonly installed in motorhomes, campervans, boats, off-grid homes, commercial vehicles, and energy storage systems.

The CCGX was the original GX communication platform and remains compatible with a wide range of Victron products, although newer installations may now use the Cerbo GX. It remains a powerful solution for system monitoring and remote management.
