Venus OS 3.70 and EmpirBus, what am I missing?

Q&A and troubleshooting

I have updated to 3.70 and it’s working fine except for the newly announced EmpirBus integration.

I have a bunch of Connect 50 devices on my n2k network, and I can they are present as “raw” devices on the network but they are not recognized as switchable i.e. they don’t show up on the “Devices” page.

Any additional hardware needed besides the c50? I do own a programming unit, if it helps? What am I doing wrong?

Hi @mrlavin ,

You need to update the Connect 50 to the latest firmware, which is 1.11.1 at the time of writing.
This unlocks a component called “Victron GX Remote Switch“, which will be recognized by the GX and will be displayed on the switch pane.

Awesome, found it now. Good job, this is a true enabler for both the EmpirBus and Victron ecosystem.
