@Leeman29, unfortunately it is not possible to update MultiPlus firmware via the VE.Bus Smart Dongle; firmware updates can only be performed via wired connection through an MK3-USB Interface.

You can only update VE.direct and VE.Can devices via VRM, not VE.Bus devices.

Products ranges for which the firmware can be updated remotely:

Products connected via VE.Direct communication port:

  • MPPT Solar Charge Controllers (1)
  • BMV Battery Monitors
  • Phoenix Inverters

Products connected via VE.Can communication port:

  • MPPT Solar Charge Controllers
  • Skylla-i battery chargers

Aw bloody hell, good catch @M.Lange, I thought that was updated in the new OS but it makes sense that it wouldn't be... thanks for correcting that, and I'll update my answer right away.
