Today we released Venus OS v3.01. It has various stability improvements:
- Fix issue in CAN-Bus timing for Ekranos
- Fix bug where a network issue could cause the real time connection to VRM (MQTT) to be lost, until rebooted.
- Fix Modbus-TCP bug, causing VE.Bus Inverter/state, register 31, to show External control state.
- Increase measured temperature range by temperature inputs on Venus GX, Cerbo GX and Ekrano GX to minus -40 °C
- Add missing translations.
- Add support for Pylontech Pelio-L battery: SVS off, STS off, DVCC on.
- Fix bug causing approx 70 EasySolar-II GXes and/or MultiPlus-II GXes to not have a uniue VRM Portal ID, and therefore failing to be registered on the VRM Portal.
- Multi and Inverter RS: Fix battery power reading missing or be wrong when Multi-RS or Inverter-RS is used as battery monitor.
- Fix CAN-Bus timing issue for RaspberryPi HATs using the MCP2518 chipset.
How to install this update?
For systems connected to the internet, there are two different methods:
- On the VRM Portal, go to Device List and there use the Update firmware button at the bottom. This method is relatively new.
- On the GX Device, or Remote Console go to Settings -> Firmware.
And for systems not connected to the internet:
- Use a SD-card or USB stick. The so called "off line update method".
For further details, see the GX Device manuals. Quick links to the relevant pages: Cerbo GX, Color Control GX and for the Venus GX.
