Hi @Paul B, that LAN connection not coming back online is most likely a coincidence or some other issue: nothing was changed that touches LAN connections.


is it still not online? Any other information? For example: Did it get an IP address? Is the issue reproducible? Are the ethernet LEDs blinking on the ethernet connector on the Venus GX?

this one is a CCGX- ill know more latter on sunday I reported it quickly just in case.

its was on 12 as its got 3 AC sensors so thought it was a good one to test it on as they were giving a few issues

I migrated from beta 10 to beta14 and have following immediate observations:

  • Grid setpoint is not really considered anymore, even with activated feed-in.
    I know that Izak configured a highler level for zero-feed-in.
    Since the upgrade I have an average grid power consumption of min 180W in average (also with activated feed-in) as long as there are only a few watts coming from inverter. As soon as inverter stops grid-setpoint is respected again.

  • Power flow direction is mostly shown wrongly. Even if there is a constant battery usage, the power flow switches between both directions. In versions before the visualisation was not perfect, but now it works like a random generator (see attached video)

Hi, thank you! There indeed is a bug, but its not a regression in v2.62.

Its an issue introduced in v2.60 and there is a workaround as Izak explained you.

What we'll probably be doing is release v2.62 next week; and look at this for v2.63 quickly thereafter.
