Thanks for reporting @josmeijer, I have forwarded it on to the VRM team and I think something like this will be fixed quickly.
I (while waiting) found out that the field is not supposed to display the device name, but the device status.
Although the " %%key_not_found%%" is replaced by "unknown" (so it apparently had someones attention) it still not shows the status.
Hi @josmeijer
The firmware version on the MultiPlus for that site is very old now, and does not support that feature.
If it was me, I would leave it as is, rather than attempt such a big jump in firmware - unless there was another very good reason to compel the update.
(two weekends by now and the third is soon to come)
I noticed that (probably caused by an automatic firmware update) my inverters had a name change and are now called "unknown".
Still I think that as the venus GX firmware apparently knows the type and the name of the device it should be possible to display it in the overview, or am I wrong?
Well, there might be. I was just searching for the proper place to post this problem.
I have a growing number of unexplainable system shutdowns. Both (parrallel) inverters switch off and become extremely dead, no leds, no way to revive them (which is extra inconvenient if I am 115 km from the spot). Not with the remote panel, nor with the switches on the inverters.
Eventually I found out that ressurrection can be achieved by breaking the VE-bus connection between the two, firing the master up, (which then shows error leds) and finally by restoring the connection everything works again.
I suspect some incompatabilities between the present firmware in the inverters and the perpetually updating software in the venus GX.
