Hello,
I’m new in the Victron world with a Multiplus 12-1600 used as an UPS with a car battery to protect my home server.
Is it normal than some settings or any updates of the victron, shutdown the equiments connected on it ? Funny when the update is run on the server plug on the Victron…
Is it possible to “connect” VictronConnect and Home Assistant to share data ?
Thanks.
Hi, welcome!
If you update the inverter it will restart and reset all settings to default. There is no need to constantly update, it isn’t an iPhone, if it is working fine, leave it alone.
No VC can’t be networked, thats what a GX is for.
Grab the manuals and have a read and do some of the free training.
All these questions are already well documented or available by searching the forum.
So i can’t use my MK3-USB to make my Multiplus communicate with the network, i need to buy a Cerbo GX ?
You can use the mk3 to connect it to a Raspberry Pi running the Venus OS, or directly to a Cerbo without an adapter. On it’s own, all a mk3 does is allow you to configure/update the system with the various local apps, which don’t network to anything else.
