Hello all,
A new version is available for testing: v2.54~1. A maintenance release, meaning that its v2.53 (todays official release) + various fixes and small improvements that we found and implemented during v2.60 development.
This will be a short testing cycle, and once officially released we'll continue field testing of the v2.60 series again. Meanwhile, v2.60 beta files are not available for download.
In case you find any issues, welcome to post below. Thank you for your help!
Change log
- Add support for 24V Pylontech batteries. (by (a) recognising them, and (b) setting the charge voltage to 27.8V automatically).
- Fix bug in the Marine MFD App, aka Glass bridge integration. It worked in most cases, but since Venus OS v2.40 there was a configuration that broke it, and showed “Could not connect to the MQTT server” on the MFD: if the “VRM Two Way Communication” setting was enabled on a system not connected to internet. Now, also when there is no internet, enabling that setting does not cause any issues anymore.
- Fix a bug in relation to Fronius PV Inverters, that caused the system to read 0W output now and then, while the actual power was higher. This issue caused downward spikes in graphs on VRM, but could also affect the Fronius Zero feed-in functionality: all works better now.
- Include a few improvements that possibly fix the touch and/or display freezes issues with the Cerbo GX Touch display. We had a few reports, and went to some effort to reproduce the issue – but so far have not. So, we did change a few things that possible fix it, but not in a way that we are certain to solve it. Therefore: if you have the issue, then (if you can) please leave it as is, enable Remote Support, and put a comment or answer in below. We’re very keen to login to such system to diagnose further.
- Remove BYD Premium LV battery energy counters, there is a bug in its calculation which will be fixed by BYD soon.
- Kernel improvements for the GX card in the EasySolar-II GX, MultiPlus-II GX and the Maxi GX.
- Fix issue that (in quite rare cases) caused the maximum discharge current and voltage not to be communicated to the Multi. Thank you Wilco P. for reporting & helping to fix it.
- Fix bug that (in very specific circumstances) caused Assistants to not be updated with a new version when using Remote VEConfigure. This bug has been in in Venus OS quite a long time.
- Fix bug in CAN-bus frames handling; which practically affect no systems at all but still needs fixing. The details: whilst for 29bit canbus only, the code also accepted 11 bit canbus frames, which in rare instances lead to ACL responses when using in a mixed environment (11 bit devices & 29bit on the same network). This bug has been in the code since all of Venus OS.
- Fix certain GPS-es not being recognised on the CANvu GX. Thank you Sturm Udrang for reporting this!
Best regards,
Matthijs Vader
Ps. If you don't know what this post is about: this is about our GX Product range (CCGX, Venus GX, Cerbo GX, and so forth). This message is for all the members of the Beta test group. Information on how to join (and leave) that group.
2020-05-25: removed the bulletpoint about ESS Assistant 176 and newer causing #3 and #4 DVCC status codes, since that issue could only happen when running v2.60 firmware.
