ESS not available

System: Multiplus 24/5000

MK2 version 1130135

Product ID 2614

Firmware 403

Build Date 201611221134

I would like to stop the Multiplus feeding back to the grid but i cannot see the ESS option on the menu of the Color controller, is there a way of installing it so that it appears as a menu item on this old system.

First you should update all components to the latest version and then you have to "install" the ESS assistant on the MultiPlus.

Thank you for your speedy reply. The firmware is up-to-date 403. and CCGX firmware is 1.74. The VE config 3 app is installed on my PC and a vff file has been created with the ESS assistant in it. I need to add the assistant remotely and in the video "remote VEConfig" it shows an option at the end of the device list of VRM. The VRM is working and displaying all the relevant live data. I do not have the "remote VEConfig" link visible on the screen and the two way communication flag is on. How do I get this config file with ESS onto the Multiplus remotely please?
