Bug? Orion XS does not recognize Victron BMS v2

Hi, when I check settings on my cerbo GX, I can connect to my Orion XS device which is connected with ve.direct. I can also control it through the cerbo, so the connection is working.

However, the Orion does not detect my BMS. I am checking with dbus as "/Settings/BMSPresent" is 0 for the Orion XS. And it's 1 for my MPPT (so that one works..)
As a result That causes the Orion not using DVCC (for example when settings DVCC charge limit, the Orion XS does not take it)

I have cerbo gx firmware version 3.20 and orion xs firmware version v1.03 (latest)
- edit: updating cerbo gx firmware to 3.31 did not change the issue

Maybe I should restart my Orion XS, but how can I do this, aside from disconnect from power supply?

Hi @Kees Oomen

At the moment, /Settings/BMSPresent will indeed always be 0. DVCC and the charge limit should work however. We will look into this. Thank you for reporting this issue.

Kind regards,

Thiemo van Engelen

Thanks Thiemo. Just for the record: Manually setting charge limit through /Settings/Set/ChargeCurrentLimit is working, but when trying to do through DVCC is does not take it over.
