Victron Wallbox stuck in manual mode

Hey guys,

I've got a 3-Phase ESS with 5kVA Multiplus IIs, some MPPTs and 28kWh LFP Storage.

I've setup the wallbox via WiFi and MQTT, it gets recognized by the cerbo and seems to work as intended.

However, it is stuck in manual mode. If I try to change it it reverts back within a second.

Doesn't matter if the EV is plugged in or not, it does not want anything other than manual.

Is there some sort of trick? I've read about a calibration feature, which makes sense since the displayed power is about 1.2 times the power displayed in the car or the VRM. (fx. 7kW on the wallbox, 5kW on the car and 5kW in the VRM)

Ahh just thinking about it, it makes perfect sense to not work in automatic mode when it's not calibrated. In that case the readings would be off and it couldn't properly use PV-Excess. Is that it?

Hi, no, that's not calibration related. Are you sure the mode is not controlled externally over Modbus? Make sure that's not the case
