Hi all,
I’m currently experimenting with a Multi RS 6000 and have encountered a few minor inconveniences.
Most issues seem related to energy meter support—or the lack thereof.
I’m using a VM3P-75CT for grid monitoring. While it works flawlessly with the MultiPlus-II, it doesn’t (yet) work with the Multi RS over Ethernet.
Is Ethernet support planned, or should I start planning to lay a 150m+ VE.Can cable? The Multi RS is in a completely separate building from the grid meter, so this would be quite a hassle.
Another issue is that the Multi RS estimates battery SOC based on its own data, rather than using the correct values from the SmartShunt.
I also have a SmartSolar charger connected to the battery bank. Because the Multi RS doesn’t see that input, its SOC reading is always lower than the actual value reported by the SmartShunt.
As a result, the Multi RS stops feeding back to the grid when its internal SOC hits 5%, even though the SmartShunt shows much more remaining capacity.
Lastly, the loads connected to the Multi RS don’t appear in the VictronConnect app. They do show up in VRM, so this is only a minor issue.
The Multi RS is running firmware version 1.24.
Below some screenshots of the different SOC’s and missing load.
