We've been using the ESS for almost 1-1/2 month now. Is the below screen display label (HUB-1) normal when using the ESS ?

Hi; yes that’s normal. Rather than ‘Hub-1’ it means that the charger is controlled externally. We should/will change that.


Note that your CCGX is running a beta version; are you sure you want to do that? I recommend to not do that and set it to run on official releases.


And, using VRM, update the BMV.

Thanks, Mvader.


No, it was not meant to run on beta version.


Do you have the link for v2.2 ? I'm seeing only the 2.18 version.

Planning to update the fw via SD card on site.
