Don’t update until you watched this! Victron did Release a new version of their VenusOS 3.30. We will upgrade together to the latest version on my Raspberry Pi 4B and Raspberry Pi 3B+.


Change Log:
v3.30 – March 19th 2024

Changes:

Highlights
• Add current limiting, aka peak shaving, for ESS systems with an energy meter. Requires ESS Assistant version 018C to be installed. Note that when that Assistant is not up to date, the new current limit settings are not visible in the UI).
• Marine MFD App: reduce load time, fix Fahrenheit support, fix tank gauges flickering bug, fix sensors not visible in certain circumstances, improve tank gauges responsiveness and alignment and icon shrinking, improved battery gauges responsiveness.

General
• Ruuvi wireless temperature sensors: add low battery warning. This is for the small coin battery inside the Ruuvi tag. When temperature is below 20 °C, the threshold is 2V. When temperature between 20 and 0 °C, the threshold is 2.3V, and otherwise its 2.5V.
• MPPT RS: Fix spurious low and high battery voltage alarms. This bug was introduced per Venus OS v3.20, and affected MPPT RSes connected over VE.Can.
• Lynx Smart BMS: Fix spurious low and high voltage alarms active on VRM, typically happened after restarting the GX.
• Cerbo GX: add option to disable the LEDs, see Settings General Enable status LEDs.
• Cerbo GX: fix missing restart of the UI after hotplugging a GX Touch. This was broken in v3.20 or earlier.
Generator start/stop controller integration
• DSE: Add support for the DSE 8620MKII and the DSE 6120.
• ComAp: Fix coolant temperature and oil pressure register decimals

ModbusTCP Registers
• Add register 105 for redetecting the VE.Bus system
• Add registers 142, 143 and 144 for enabling/disabling UPS function on Multis/Quattros
• Add Orion XS registers

Venus OS Large – NodeRED
• NodeRED updated from v3.1.3 to v3.1.5 https://github.com/nodered/nodered/...
• Victron nodes: output enumerated value as msg.textvalue: For input nodes that use an enumerated value as data, also output the textual value as msg.textvalue. For these nodes also show this textual value in the status text.
• Victron nodes: add readout + control of the Cerbo GX status LEDs via the settings nodes.

Venus OS Large – Signal K Server
• Fix N2K VE.Can port not being configured out of the box for the Ekrano GX.
