VictronConnect 5.48 has been released
The changes are mostly new firmware versions, as well as few stability improvements. The included firmware updates for MPPT Solar Chargers, Inverter RS, BMVs, SmartShunt and more product ranges are all optional: the user will only need to update in case he wants to change his settings. In fact, this is something we’re working on in general: reducing the amount of mandatory firmware updates when using VictronConnect.
These are the changes in a row:
For more details, also about the improvements in the various firmware versions, see the VictronConnect change log.
