Instance ID of devices on VenusOS still changing with 2.65~5

I updated to 2.65~5, yet when my VenusOS restarts or if I unplug/plug in my VE Direct USB cables the instance ID of my devices still changes and is not consistent. Looking through the XML for the settings it seems like some of the mappings are incorrect. One device seems to have multiple ID's, see the snippet below, it shows the instance as 289 and 290.

<ClassAndVrmInstance type="s" default="com.victronenergy.solarcharger:289" silent="False">com.victronenergy.solarcharger:290</ClassAndVrmInstance>

If that's the case, can you tell me what I need to correct in my settings.xml so that my devices are assigned the following ID's

288 - SmartShunt
289 - SolarCharger
290 - VE Bus System

Below is the XML from /data/conf/settings.xml on my RaspberryPi VenusOS device

Hi,

<vedirect_HQ1911838GN>
      <ClassAndVrmInstance type="s" default="com.victronenergy.solarcharger:289" silent="False">com.victronenergy.solarcharger:290</ClassAndVrmInstance>
</vedirect_HQ1911838GN>

What this means is that the default for this solarcharger with serial HQ1911838GN was instance 289. This default is based on the which tty device was assigned when first plugged in. But because solarcharger instance 289 was already taken by some other product, localsettings assigned instance 290 to this product. This should also be the deviceInstance that it always gets (as long as this settings file is used) and that it should use when communicating with VRM. This is not the case?

What is interesting here is that there is no other product with a com.victronenegry.solarcharger:289 default. Did you already edit the settings file by hand?

Kind regards,

Thiemo van Engelen

Thanks for the reply! No i haven't yet edited the settings as I wasn't sure what the right config would be. Any input on how I would want to edit the XML below to match this:

288 - SmartShunt
289 - SolarCharger
290 - VE Bus System (Multiplus)

Is there any other part of the XML I would want to update?

<Devices>
    <vebus_ttyUSB0>
      <CustomName type="s" default="" silent="False"></CustomName>
    </vebus_ttyUSB0>
    <vebus_ttyUSB1>
      <CustomName type="s" default="" silent="False"></CustomName>
    </vebus_ttyUSB1>
    <vebus_ttyUSB2>
      <CustomName type="s" default="" silent="False"></CustomName>
    </vebus_ttyUSB2>
    <vedirect_HQ1911838GN>
      <ClassAndVrmInstance type="s" default="com.victronenergy.solarcharger:289" silent="False">com.victronenergy.solarcharger:290</ClassAndVrmInstance>
    </vedirect_HQ1911838GN>
    <vedirect_HQ2005XRFUV>
      <ClassAndVrmInstance type="s" default="com.victronenergy.battery:288" silent="False">com.victronenergy.battery:289</ClassAndVrmInstance>
    </vedirect_HQ2005XRFUV>
  </Devices>

I'm assuming I should edit it like below where the numbers match, but is there anywhere else in the settings I need to add or update the reference to the instance ID?

<ClassAndVrmInstance type="s" default="com.victronenergy.solarcharger:289" silent="False">com.victronenergy.solarcharger:289</ClassAndVrmInstance>
