Update of ESS settings - System Redetect required to make them work?

Hi Victron team,

If one would like to experiment with changing only two settings within ESS (or any setting for that matter)

  1. Feed-in excess solarcharger power
  2. Minimum SOC (unless grid fails) - Which we have to do here in South Africa due to load shedding.

Will the settings take effect without any further input, or will one have to go to advanced (under the Multiplus-II 48/5000/70-48 and press redetect system for the settings to actually come into action?


Firmware version (Multiplus): 467

Firware version (Venus GX): v2.33




Similarly, updating Log Interval from 15 min to 1 min in the VRM Online Portal section and not pressing "sytem redetect". Would that have any affect on the system as a whole (ie. cause the solar production to stop when the battery is not fully charged or messing with battery SOC levels?)



Thanks in advance
