Venus OS v2.60~23 available to be tested

Hello all,

A new version is availabe to be tested. See below for the changes.

In case you're new to the v2.60 beta test series, please make sure to read below six previous posts about them. There are several significant improvements in v2.60. The highlights are the addition of a feed-in limit, added ethernet-connected energy meters, updates on the NMEA2000-feature (addition of tanks), as well as many other improvements with regards to tank monitoring.


Change log

  • Fix bug in the new limit feed-in option in ESS, related to three phase systems.
  • Fix bug in Settings -> System -> AC Input configuration


Known issues

  • the new Ethernet-connected energy meters can't be configured; this will be fixed soon.
  • grid alarm creates warnings rather then alarms; a regression introduced in v2.60. Will be fixed soon.
  • there is an issue in the new limit feed-in option in ESS, will be included in next release.


Other reported issues in v2.60 testing are still being- and/or will be looked into.


Best regards,

Matthijs Vader

Fix bug in Settings -> System -> AC Input configuration

Still can't select any other Input than Grid or Not Available setting. Running Raspi 3 with ~23 firmware. Nothing connected to Raspi at the moment, just running the new code.

Is this an issue with the PI version only? It seems to be working fine on my CCGX. Running a Multiplus Compact 2000/120 which doesn't have two inputs but the CCGX still provides two AC input selections.

VE.can 150/85 old Box type and new smart solar VE.can MPPT 150/85 ramp down when ESS state changes from 10 to 11 or 10 to 12. The ramp down is not always on the same MPPT it switches between the two.

The minute ESS state changes back to 10 they both ramp up again. If in ESS state 11 and I cut the grid supply both MPPT's ramp up.

I now see that the Multiplus II goes into Pass through then MPPTs ramp down.

I also updated the multiplus II to firmware 2623474 at the same time and there was also an ESS assistant update at the same time possibly something there.

If I switch to keep batteries charged then the MPPTs Ramp up to help supply the AC Load if the batteries don't require the full energy available.
