Hi

Need details on what version you are running, and if an upgrade was done, if so you need to update the access to it via a IP address, do a IP address scan to see were it is on your network then logon that way first, then change the access password under settings then general change to super user and set root password if required.

Then go from there.

Thank you for your prompt reply.

An update or other changes were not carried out.
I have version 2.42 and I also tried the current 2.52 but it was the same

It worked for four weeks in a row and then suddenly stopped.

What amazes me very much is that no connection with the Victron Connect is possible, it has nothing to do with Venus anymore.

I can access Venus without any problems. It works without problems, only the mutliplus is no longer displayed by him.

Or have I misunderstood them now?

Hi

Depending on what firmware version your mulitplus has? you should have done the Mulitplus firmware first as it will not response to to upgraded version the Venus has. So you must do a Hardware firmware update first then do a Venus update. Try that next.

This could be issue as you jumped from version 2.42 to 2.52.

Sometimes you must unplug the MK3 USB interface to do a full reset etc.

I didn't jump from 2.42 to 2.52.

I tried to do it later.

Because it hadn't worked during ongoing operation.

There was no change at that time.

I now have the Mutliplus on the latest version 2609473 and the Victron Connect is on 5.20.

It is still not displayed on the software.

I subtracted MK3 several times and the Multiplus was also restarted several times.

I've already completely de-energized.
