Good day all,
Since yesterday end of day, v2.60~41 is available for field testing. Various more improvements - details below.
This post is intended for all people participating in the Venus OS Beta test program.
Changes since v2.60~39
- Detect BlueNova batteries as well as enforce good settings for them (DVCC = on; SVS = off; STS = off)
- EM24-ethernet meters: various improvements and changes to that driver.
- Add support for newly used USB controller IC in the 2nd generation Zigbee controller (DRF2658C)
- PV Inverter & Modbus-TCP settings menus: restore the edit with the middle button, otherwise a manually added ip-address cannot be edited. Broken somewhere during v2.60 development.
- Fix ESS Multi-phase handling popup being shown on the old value of the setting rather than the new value. Broken during v2.60 development. Thank you @jfleissner for noticing this.
- Fix Multi on/off issue in combination with MFD App, as reported by @Scuba Shan. Thank you!. Broken during v2..60 development.
Complete preliminary v2.60 change log
Highlights of v2.60 are the new ESS Feed-in limiter, new Ethernet connected energy meters, better tank monitoring as well as much improved NMEA2000-out feature and other changes mostly benefited from by our Marine customers. Full change log in this PDF:

(updated to v2.60~41)
Next steps (same as last time)
We are still finding and fixing various small issues. Once stabilised we'll release v2.60. Everyone here is really keen to do so, its time to start working on something fresh again! And.. its time have all the new features finished & available ofcourse. Which means maybe next week, maybe one more week, or even longer in case something serious shows up - hopefully not.
Conclusion
All the best, and thank you all for helping with this. Even though v2.60 is taking a long time I ám very happy with how the field testing is going. Its quite smooth & efficient; and really of extreme value for us in increasing Venus OS quality.
