MultiPlus State Control from Venus GX/Venus App (HTML5) not working with VE.Bus Lithium BMS

Hello,

I am fine tuning the settings for my system and I've run into a roadblock. -

I have removed the MultiControl panel from my system and I'm trying to control the state of my inverter from the Venus GX console or the HTML5 Venus App running on the Venus GX, but while the MultiPlus shows up, I'm unable to change it's state using the Venus GX.

Interestingly, I am able to change the Input Limit but not turn on the inverter.

While the Venus GX accurately shows the MultiPlus' state on the HTML5 App page, the "buttons" to change the state don't work or reflect the actual state.

Please see the attached screen shot.



How can I enable control of the MultiPlus state through Venus GX?

Thanks in advance.

Do you have a Victron Smart lithium battery and the VE.bus BMS in your system?

If yes then the controlling of the Multi via the Venus is disabled.

Yes, I have both - that's disappointing and seems a little silly. Full Victron setup and I lose functionality.

Do you know if something that Victron intends to address?

Thanks for your help.
