Venus OS 3.10 Issue with missing Autostart Settings in Cerbo GX

I have an Fischer Panda Generator connected to the Cerbo using the interface box. I did the update to 3.10 and all info for Autostart settings and Motor data are missing. I searched all other settings but can not find it. I went back to 3.0 and all is ok again. Do i need to change something on the interfacebox ??

Hi @SV_UNSInn thank you for your report! we looked into this, and found the problem.


We're working on a fix; which will first be available as a beta version; and soon (one or two weeks I expect) as v3.11.


all the best, Matthijs

Yes, it fixed the issue. Just one thing I can’t find was the settings fiebrige Generator Service Alarm/ notification. Again. Thank‘s taking care

Could you explain what you mean with "Just one thing I can’t find was the settings fiebrige Generator Service Alarm/ notification"? The Fisher Panda genset itself has never been able to push alarms.

The (separate) generator start/stop service can push alarms when:

  • There is no generator detected on AC input
  • The service interval has exceeded
  • The remote start functionality is disabled. Fischer Panda calls this Autostart.

These settings can be found in Fischer Panda -> Auto start/stop -> Settings.

Ah, ok. Than it was my misunderstanding. I thought that I would be able to set an alarm/notification when the service period ( hours) are exceeded.

All good as this is a very minor point :-)

Hello,
Is it the same point has since I've updated to 3.10 I can start the Genset but I can't stop it anymore !
The relay physically don't change state. (I need to go to the setting to change it to manual to stop the genset)

Xavier.

Hi @SyDasssy, I'm afraid having multiple Fischer Panda gensets is not supported. We only support one of each type of generator: relay controlled and via comms, like Fischer Panda and DSE.
