question

Think you mean v3.30 here?

"Lastly, before posting issues, preferably first revert to the latest official release (v3.10), to double check if the issue you're seeing was present there as well."

This is a bug. Only started on 3.30 and still there on 3.40. Look at that usage.

This installation is in Dutch, however klantenservice is a bit weird chosen i think :)

Installed Beta 3.40~1 with no issues. However, found an item in the original version for controls that do not show in the beta. I use the generator timer and relay assistant controls. Good job on development of the beta! Coal

Hello, will the gui-v2 in v3.40 also be available for Raspberry Pi users who have connected a touch screen via HDMI or DSI? For now, the gui-v2 is only available via the web browser or via the VRM portal.

If the gui-v2 is accessed via the web browser, the Onscreen UI setting for Gui-v2 (beta) version is available, but the gui-v1 remains visible on the touch screen and does not change to the gui-v2

Drill Down on Inverter when on VRM> Overview no longer works. It did show Inverter/Charger details on Multiplus in previous Beta release but no longer in 3.40-1

The Battery details display on the Touch 50 and Cerbo-s GX only shows cell voltages to one decimal place. The current released version shows to 3 decimal places. We find this fine resolution invaluable when a customer is recovering a flat battery: both when the battery is at 0%SOC and being changed and then when it is full charged to determine if any cells are damaged. We typically operate aroun 0.003V difference between low and high. lease can we have this high definition resumed.

I still would really like Loads split between (the old) AC Loads vs Critical Loads on one of the screens. :-)

This one has the space - please split it?

Battery display on GX50 runs together.

Suggestion: Show those 3 values vertically right-justified on the right side.

And it would be nice if the Tank levels could be shown on top line like here:

Thank you for your hard work. I hope my suggestions are well-received.

Battery temperature is not displayed
- in the overview
- in the temp menu

The battery temperature is only displayed in the settings ... Multiplus menu.

(Actually unsing v3.30 with Guimods, all four cerbo temps and the battery temp from the Multiplus sensor are displayed in the overview.)

Hi

in Settings-ESS, in the New Gui I miss the Option "Self-Consumtion from Battery" - "All System loads or Only critical Loads". In the Classic Gui its still there.

New bug found - not wure if causes by Venus OS, or Orion XS Firmware - my unit keeps disconnecting and re-connecting. Cables are good.
[@Victron]

not sure if this is covered, but how would you activate the Superuser in GUI v2? as there is no centerpad in the GUI.

Minor bug in gui-beta:
Firmware version for BYD LVL15 is shown as hex instead of numeric, in my case "1.1A" instead of "1.26". Old gui shows the correct version number.

Wish for beta-gui:
On mobile phones and tablets the new gui is not scaled up to full screen, neither via VRM nor directly called on a browser. Especially on a mobile phone it becomes a challenge to read micro small information, if gui uses only 1/4 of available screensize.

I would welcome, if there would be a auto-scale functionality included.

VRM:

Browser:

This might be a dumb question but on the image at the top the rings show different colours for levels, how do you set this?

AC Loads in a Motorhome.

Is it possible or may I suggest a setting that when enabled would show the AC Output / Loads of the inverter ONLY on the Overview page AC Loads box . This would show true load on the inverter. The graphic is misleading to me when compared to the actual AC Out of the Multiplus 12/3000 inverter as seen in the screenshots. My shore input of 1553W is due to the Air Conditioner which is not powered by the inverter.

Thank you!

Hi!

In 3.40~1 the PV graph eats into the data unit for PV while the load seems to be capped off nicely. This when showing the sidebar in the brief screen.

The moving bar under power and loads isnt present under solar and the solargraph seems static when compared to power and loads.

I get reboots when I turn on my inverter in the beta UI. The inverter is a Quattro 5000 12v. This doesn't happen when I turn off the inverter.

@mvader (Victron Energy)
Sorry not sure where to add a suggestion however there's been a few days where the DESS has given incorrect forecasts on loading (possibility correct due to algo's) but my suggestion is the ability to override a predicted forecast which then sets the buy from grid amount, in turn the battery SOC. So It would be good to set a minimum and maximum SOC for a day, or range of days.

For example if you go on holiday the batteries may set to charge up to 100% but then that grid cost is "lost" when the batteries could have received charge from PV for example.

Or days when you know you're going to have higher loads - for example lets say you know your electrical demand is going to be large (Factory extra work, restaurant, party at home etc).

In GUI-V2 the min and max battery voltage on the BMS is shown with one digit precision. That is not really useful on LiFePo4 batteries. The old version had 3 digits available. Please update this to 3-digits again.

I do not know if this is the proper posting area. I was running Gui-Mods but moved back to Victron stock software when I had a Cerbo issue in February. I am currently running V3.40~1, with Venus Large image and Node Red. Today, I ran my generator on a Periodic run to exercise it.

In the Generator section, I found the Warm up and Cool down section. There is also a Generator Stop time setting. I could not find information in the Cerbo manual 03/20/2024 revision that mentioned the Stop time.

I had the Warm Up time set to 60 seconds, the Cool Down time set to 300 seconds and the Stop Time set to 10 seconds.

When the generator ran, I could not be sure if there was a Warm Up time. When the Periodic runtime expired, the generator shut down while under about a 50% load. I did not have any cool down time at all.

I was at the panel watching when this occurred. I had wired in a set of timer relays to provide the cool down time while using the inverter assistants to tell the inverters to Ignore the AC to unload the generator.

You maybe working on this already, but I thought that I would report it in case that it is not being addressed.

I am using Node Red to accomplish something that I feel should be accomplished in the Stock software.

Some background. I live fulltime in a RV and travel year round. I maybe connected to Shore Power of anywhere from a single phase 15 amp circuit to a split phase 50 amp circuit. When I stop, I set the Input Current Limit to match may Shore Power capabilities.

My Generator supplies single phase power up to 70 amps.

I wrote a Node Red flow that does the following. When the generator starts, the Node Red flow detects and stores the current Shore Power Input Current Limit setting. Then the flow sets the Input limit to 70 amps for my generator. When the generator finishes running, the flow resets the Input Current Limit to the original Shore Power Input Limit.

As an example, suppose I am connected to a 15 amp shore power connection. While this connection will delay my charging time, I will periodically need to run the generator to bring the batteries back up to good levels. When the generator auto-starts, the input current limit is changed to 70 amps to maximize the power available from the generator. At the end of the generator run, the input current limit reverts to 15 amps so that I do not overdraw the shore power source.

I hope that this helps.

@JohnJayMack

In response to your first post, the warm up and cool down times allow the generator to run with ac input disconnected for the set amount of time when started and when a shutdown sequence is initiated by the Venus device. The stop time initiates a delay between the time the generator relay open and when the AC input relay closes. This is intended to allow for systems that do not shut down instantly upon relay state change so that ac load is not re-applied during the shutdown process. In order for these functions to operate properly the inverter must be on firmware version 508 or later. (Going by memory here, I'm pretty sure it's 508). You should not be using any assistants to control either the generator or the ac input during startup or shutdown sequence if you are using the gx device to control the generator.

In response to your second post, guimods has this feature built in now. There used to be a package called ExtTransferSwitch which is now part of guimods which will handle switching input between shore and generator, and automatic changing of the ac input limit based on the mode of input.

@mvader (Victron Energy) in 3.40~2 my seplos bms nor my Multiplus is not seen anymore as battery monitor, there is not even the option to select No Battery monitor ,

in devices the seplos and multi is available.

i reverted back to 3.40~1, thats working fine

Why is Gui V2 so small at my Smartphone when starting it via beta-vrm?

The new green arrow for feed in is nice.

But I would prefer a graphic with 0 in the middle and feed in in one direction and buying from grid the opposite direction. Feed in colored victron blue and the other red because it usually costs a lot.

And for all that graphics I would pefer smother movments. They are to hectic.

And the last comment for the moment...

Why is for DC Chargers the daily Wh and for AC Inverters the overall kWh or MWh displayed?

And concerning the units for AC Inverters you use kWh and MWh when the value is more than 1000 but at DC Chargers you stay at Wh even if it is more than 1000. Thats confusing.

So, maybe I missunderstand the purpose of ESS, but I'm following the development of it for a bit now and can't make any sense on what's happening with my setup.

Due to an error on Tibbers side, i'm was forced into an expensive contract with my prior electricity provider and now have to live with €0.39/kWh for the rest of the year.

I still wanted to try the ESS and put in my buy and selling prices for electricity:
€0.122/kWh selling
€0.39/kWh buying
€0.04/kWh Battery cost

My expectation: since 0.122+0.04 < 0.39 the ESS would determine that keeping the battery at least above 50% and using my generated electricity is preferable to selling it. (I use roughly 20% battery every night).

But the system always prefers selling to keeping the battery up. At most, it plans to charge it an hour before sundown, which is not nearly enough to do anything meaningful.

Is my logic wrong? Or have i set something wrong in my system? I also tried to set up the tibber prices, and i get the same behavior even when the prices are around €0.28/kWh.

Hi, great update!

But:

Having a Cerbo, using a small flow on node-RED to tell the Relais when to close with enough mppt or Grid power.

Wenn im looking at the Relais status in gui V2 (which i would love to see in the overview) and moving back, the Cerbo reboots. (RAM problem?)

Quick reboot so it didn't bother me big time, but since it's a beta ;-)

I have a problem it would nice if somebody could solve it for me, i have or a victron engineer could log in and check,an offgrid situation when i update it claims succesful but it stays on the old version. now on 320~1 and updated to 3.40~1 but it dosen't update

I have a new problem after updating to 3.40~2 two days ago.
Since the update, my router has reported several times a day that the GX has reconnected. Previously I only got this message when I restarted the GX. So I suspect that the GX restarts itself multiple times a day for some reason.
Yesterday afternoon I booted 3.40~1 again. Since then there have been no more connection messages from the router.

Installed

v3.40~2

Working good.

Just to confirm I see fixes

AC 3phase meter shows phases on details screen - ✓

3 phases load added on first screen - ✓

Thank you @mvader (Victron Energy)

What is not yet done

1. No data from MultiRS AC in and AC out. I assume it is in the queue of priorities. Don't recall this was reported, sorry if duplication

2. Can't click on Diagram (second tab) on History screen

Have some bug report on Gui2.0

When I open this section from VRM portal, I see 3 problems:

1. I have a duplication of MultiRS device

2. Ethernet state is unplugged, but GX is connected by ethernet

3. Looks like WiFi adapter is not identified, but it's definitely available in Cerbo :)

My system: MultiRS, Cerbo GX on beta v3.40~2, Pytes batteries

This how my site looks like, nice to have my genset visible now. I still hope that the solar graph would be much more detailed, scientific as that's what eveyone is eyeballing constantly.

Also, am I wrong in saying that the solar graph only shows the history as far as the gui has been running? That's ought to change I presume.

Hi all, I have a quick question on the new UI... When i'm producing power from the alternators on my boat, the DC loads go negative. Is this by design as it feels counter intuitive (oh, and it messes up my reporting).

I would have expected the alternator reporting to behave in the same way that Solar reporting does in that I can see what i'm producing, what i'm using and what's going in / out of the battery bank.

I'd just like to check i'm not being stupid before I have a look at a workaround.

Thanks

Casp.

Hello,

since VenusOS 3.40~2 there is a change in the grid setpoint behaviour.

In my ESS i use NodeRed to change the grid setpoint to save battery for specific high loads.
In VenusOS v3.40~1 it is working fine the setpoint changes and the grid point is controlled nicely. But in v3.40~2 i can see a setpoint of 3600W in VRM and remote console, but the ESS controlles the grid point to zero.

My System:

MPII, CerboGX, custom Batteies 15kWh, ESS with NodeRed

greetings

Cannot connect to appstore on SignalK, it keeps saying offline and stays like this even after waiting, 3.40~2, gui v2, SignalK 2.50. Cannot connect via SSH, when trying to input root password on guiv2 i get msg that it is not implemented and inputed password do not work via ssh.

gui-v2: Inverter mode Charge only and Invert only are still grayed out in v3.40~2.

My system is using a Multi Compact and Cerbo. Seeing this on the WASM build. Have not checked gui-v2 on the local screen.

This morning I noticed the situation:

- the network limit was full (the sales limit is 10kW and the same amount went to the grid);

- battery was charged in a limited volume, 8:00-15:00 about 2-4 kW (charging capacity is 10.6kW);

- the capacity of the producing inverters was limited down;

Wouldn't it make sense to charge the besieged energy into the battery anyway?

Because you never know what the afternoon will bring, and the prophecy of the sun can be false.

Finally I turned off the DESS to get the battery full, photo also below...

I have noticed that when I use the gui beta it affects the screen of my GX Touch. The screen becomes black with a green square in the middle. The screen also becomes unresponsive until the curb gx is rebooted.

Gui-V2: changing measurements unit from W to A (Display>), the load devices (right side of display) change in A, while the charge ones (left side) remain in W

Tank display issue (3.40-2):

Multiplus and Phoenix connected to cerbo.

Dashboard totally ignore power usage from phoenix.

Total is 47W from multiplus and 72VA from Phoenix. but 72 are ignored probably becouse of the unit. Even if it cant be displayed as Watts for any reason (seems to be old topic with cerbo), it should be represented on the dashboard somehow, instead of being just ommited.

After reverting back to v3.30 from v3.40~2 the remote console from VRM no longer works.

Any change getting those main figures in the middle of brief-view when there are more than two circular indicators (tank levels etc)? There is plenty of space and font size could be changed to make them fit. Now the whole display is quite plain and it's supposed to be the default view after startup I assume. Or can I change it somewhere myself? Did I miss something? @mvader (Victron Energy)

Putting this in here instead of the other thread since I'm assuming the problem is with the beta firmware update check logic.

Firmware update check is showing a lower number (but newer date) as an appropriate update when it shouldn't. So people on beta firmware end up updating backwards to stable firmware of a previous version number unless they're watching closely.

I simply can not start GUI mode some help remote or

Thanks Goran

Seems to be a mismach between the state via the newUI and the 'old' UI wrt to the state.
It shows ' discharging' whereas in the inverter/charger box, whereas I would expect to see 'passthru' which is the real state of the MP. The battery is discharing due to the DC lead, but putting that in the MP box is misleading

I'm fairly sure that ESS since version .19 is causing grid loss alarms; when the system tries to charge but the internal relay is left open (by Node red script).
