Hi,
We have got a couple of sites with Revov Lithium batteries installed. Since yesterdays update(V2.62) on the GX devices, we can’t see the Revov RCU’s in the device list. Is it something that can be sorted out with the next update?

Revov RCU not seen in GX device after update to v2.62
I moved this question to the modifications space as it's about a battery that isn't on the compatible batteries list.
You will need to contact whoever sold/supports your battery and work with them.
The Revov RCU v1 (the smaller 12v plastic version) pretends to be a BMV700 unit, as it pretends to be PID 0x203
If you take a look at the serial logs for the service, seems like it doesn't respond properly to the queries sent to it - the get 034F fails, so the device doesn't get added on the dbus and so isn't listed in the UI.
See a sample log below (in black)

I suspect its because the firmware on the RCU doesn't cater for whatever is now being asking in the newer firmwares - the get 034f bit or the registerAllowed 0104 FAIL.
Might be worth getting in touch with JJ Fischer who wrote the code for the RCU - jj@solar4life.co.za
Or check on powerforum.co.za if anyone has documented the issue. I'm "shanghailoz" on powerforum.
