Multiplus randomly disappears from Remote Console and stops working

I've now experienced it twice that the Multiplus disappeared from the list of devices in the Remote Console. Unfortunately, that's not all, it can no longer be controlled via Node-RED either.

My suspicion is that it could be related to occasionally changing the switch position (Off / On) in Node-RED. However, I cannot (yet) say whether this is really related or not.

At the moment, the only option in this situation is to restart the system. That's bad because I need to notice this situation...

Any idea what I could check or log in this situation?


Setup: Multiplus II GX + Node-RED + VenusOS 3.20



I've checked the logs in /var/log/messages. Here's something strange, it looks like a random reboot during the night:

Wasn't aware that the system would appear when it is remotely turned off.

Always under the impression that "off" needed to be used with care.

The inverter is then just shown as "off" but is still there, just AC is disconnected. Normally that works like a charm. Saves around 20 Watts in consumption during longer standby periods.
