Good morning!
There is a new beta version available for public testing, v3.54~1.

We’re keen on releasing v3.54: please test and give your feedback .
Instructions 1 of 3: Venus OS beta testing & how to join/install
In case you don’t know what this message is about, please start with reading this link, which explains the Venus OS beta program. Venus OS is the software running on all our GX devices, such as the Cerbo GX.
Instructions 2 of 3: How to report an issue?
Before posting, please check if your issue already exists, in which case please contribute by replying to that issue or up-voting it.
Only once you are sure its a new possible issue, start a new topic.
Lastly, before posting, preferably first revert to the latest official release, to double check if the issue you’re seeing was present there as well. Regressions require a different treatment than other issues and bugs. And let us know if you did that, and what the difference is. A perfect report contains:
- How its expected to work
- How it doesn’t work as expected
- Details on the system
- What you’ve already tried to make sure its not a setting or other issue.
Please take note that that this works quite differently than it used to do on the old version of Community:
- For a new issue, open a new topic. Instead of adding a new reply at the bottom.
- To add to an already open issue, aka topic, reply to that. Or just upvote it if you have the same issue. This will help us a lot in determining its importance and manage our priorities.
Instructions 3 of 3: using Node-RED, Kevin’s GuiMods or other add-ons?
In case you are running Node-RED or SignalK, then please at least say so in your bug report.
Kevin’s GuiMods and other 3rd party add-ons: don’t report your gui issues here. Please do it elsewhere instead; and make sure to check out the related issue tracker first.
Changes made by us can cause a compatibility issue with the GuiMods; and these betas report pages are for official firmware only.
Change log
v3.54~1 (compared to the latest official release, v3.53)
- Multi RS: Fix spurious grid lost alarm. Similar to Multis and Quattros, the grid lost alarm is now also for the Multi RS configured with the Settings → System setup → Monitor for grid failure setting.
- N2K-out: add VREGs for AC in/out current to VE.Bus sender
- Managed CAN-bms connected batteries: reword the High battery voltage alarm into High cell voltage alarm. The new term better indicates the actual issue. Note that in most situations such alarm indicates an imbalance issue in the battery. Consult your battery documentation on how to restore cell balance.
