Awesome, thanks. Just getting my system setup, but will let you know how it works as we get running

@Lpopescu
Can the version also be made available if you have already converted your EVCS to 2 relays and use 1 / 3 phase switching?

I would also like to test beta, ID 187148
I have modified system with 1p/3p switching if thats relevant.
Hello Lucian,
I am interesting to have also beta version for testing. My portal ID: 237500.
Thanks a lot.
@AhtiH ; @Frantisek FW updated!

@Lpopescu , is there any functionality of automatic OTA update in this beta?
Because after SW update to this beta version I observed 3 times loss of EVCS data, which I collected via MQTT from Cerbo GX to Home Assistant, but only for very short time. First time this was after approximately 3 hours after SW update, then after next day, and latest observation was today at 00:08:22 (hh:mm:ss)ā¦
I donāt know the reason for this, but for example reset counters read via Modbus from EVCS have still the same values, so probably this was not caused by EVCS reboot. This never happened with previous SW, so I expects maybe some automatic OTA update feature, which can caused this behaviour?
Hi, no, there is no automatic OTA on that build
And no āmanualā update was done by you?
Now I donāt know, if data loss is related with new EVCS SW or with new Venus OS on Cerbo GX, because about 1 hour before EVCS update made by you I also made SW update of Venus OS from version 3.12 to 3.42ā¦
Now I add some debug parameters to HA for better analysis, but it seems that data loss on MQTT is related only to EVCS data.
No, Iām doing updates only if Iām asked for. And never without informing the customer.
Perhaps roll that back and test again.
It wasnāt meant badly, Lucian, just the oppositeā¦ I am only thinking about possibility to update tested beta SW to some new available beta version as part of beta testing, which make sense, if someone is part of beta testing.
According to statistic EVCS counters - in HA implementation I have counter for cumulating charged energy to EV in manual mode, in auto mode and total sum (also with resolution per day, per month and per year). It is based on actually available values via MQTT.
In EVCS control panel is available āTotal energyā value, but is not available via MQTT or Node-RED (only session energy and session time is available), and āSession saved costā which I suppose is calculated based on energy charged from PV source (maybe also from battery?) vs. from grid - also session/total counter for charged energy from PV will be good to have available via MQTT, mainly for better knowledge how much energy to EV was charged from PV and how much from grid. Is it something, that is on to-do list?
No worries! Yes, we can add that on the Modbus TCP, if itās missing.
