A new MK3 version is available while multiplus looks up to date

I get in the GX the following remark for my multiplus.

When I check in the victron portal the multiplus is up to date just like all my other devices

What should I do with this ?

I did upgrade my multiplus recently to the latest version but the message on the gx stays the same.

The MK3 update is for the GX to better control the inverter.

Look a bit lower in the menu on the GX under the inverter in the device list, it has the option to update there.

Ok thanks so the "temprarily stop the system" is only the GX that could stop ?

A bit strange this is an update within the GX since I keep my GX at the latest release candidate.

Could I expect a conflict with that ?

@rns

No, it is because you it is updated and there are new features that the message has appeared.

It is part of the Venus OS so no conflict.

You might see a fault in the VRM under ve bus, but I have not had a system stop. Apparently only a very few do. So there is the warning there. But it is likely only as long as a restart it when you update firmware.

I thought it was for the MK3 Comms interface in the multi.
