Good morning!

Today we are releasing Venus OS v3.20. The two highlights are:

  2. Completely renewed Marine HTML5 App. Readability is increased, look and feel is much improved, and lastly tank level readout has been added. Also it now features a dark and light mode.

Other changes include:

  • Various improvements for the RS range, including fixing the visualisation of 3 phase systems both on the GX device as well as on the VRM Portal and also the option to give a name to each solar tracker and see that on both the GX device as well as VRM (use VictronConnect to set the name).
  • Auto-configuration profiles for WeCo and FinDreams batteries.
  • Various improvements on the DSE and ComAp generator controller integration, such as reading-out the tank level.

 Venus OS Large elated:
