ESS Assistant configuration with Lynx Smart BMS

What is the correct setting for the Inverter/Charger ESS Assistant configuration when using a Lynx Smart BMS connected to the GX system with VE.CAN? I was previously using a VE.BUS BMS which is obvious how to configure but am transitioning the installation to a Lynx Smart BMS and will need to reprogram the inverters (I assume).

I also am not 100% clear on what (if anything) I need to do with the old VE.BUS BMS Mains Detector that was part of the original design.

Hi @cookinwitdiesel
Since the Lynx Smart BMS is a CAN-bus (VE.Can) based BMS, you must check the box 'System uses LiFePo4 with other type BMS'.

The mains detector is no longer needed. If this simplifies installation, you can leave it connected to AC but then disconnect the VE.Bus cable between the mains detector and the MultiPlus.
