Venus OS v3.70~61 available for public testing

There appears to be a issue with 3.70~61

On my Samsung s24 ultra running android 16, in beta vrm when you click on advanced mode there is no widget selector icon appearing at top of page, in either portrait or landscape orientation. Working fine on my s10 fe tablet running android 16 in landscape orientation. Should widget selector also appear in portrait on tablet?

Apologies if this have already been reported.

Thanks.

This is VRM related, not Cerbo Firmware if I am correct.

Running 3.70-60

I’m having an issue with node-red if I use virtual switch to control cerbo relay the relay node shows “ an unknown error has occurred “

But having the flow control the relay without using virtual switch works normally.

hi Matthijs

Thank you for the clarification. Good to know.

v3.70~61 appears to be missing one of the Venus properties: AC input 1 source (for VE.Bus inverter/chargers) in the settings control node. The selection is available in v3.67

Edit: It looks like that property is available in a Custom Control node: victronenergy.settings → /Settings/SystemSetup/AcInput1

Hi

I have a strange behaviour with a virtual switch, it only affects the momentary switch:

When I click on it with my mouse, the switch seems to react and change to “On”, but monitoring it on dbus-spy the state does not change from 0 to 1…
If I press the virtual switch with the space bar it works as intended…

This was the case with 3.70~60 and now as well with 3.70~61

Hi Matthijs, I downgraded to 3.67 like you suggested and it works exactly the same as the latest 3.70 beta. The individual phase currents limit is incorrectly applied, such that all phases total amps is limited to the set value.

Happy New Year.

Can we get an update that lets us either lower the Ruuvi low battery alert threshold to 2.3 V or disable the low battery notifications entirely.

The current 2.5 V threshold triggers false alerts during brief cold mornings, and also on devices sitting near industrial refrigeration, even when the sensors are still performing fine for temperature monitoring.

Also, the fact the alert cannot be dismissed until voltage rises makes it unnecessarily disruptive.

Thank you.

Happy New Year :slight_smile:

I could be totally wrong here, but I have a vague memory that the low battery alarms of the Ruuvi’s are sent by the Ruuvi’s themselves (at a hardcoded treshold) and not generated locally by the GX device.
Hence it is more annoying to change these alarms.
As stated: I could be wrong, but “it’s not that simple” if I’m not mistaken.

Can someone tell me how the Virtual Load works? I added 2 virtual loads and it is visible in the console although stated as disconnected, but I don’t see it in VRM.

This should get you going.
Uncomment the necessary fields for a 3 phase load.

sorry for the OT Question, but how to copy / edit / test this node red flow?

Using Chrome, maybe the problem?

I created the flow in my Node Red, selected the nodes I wanted to copy.
Right click, Export, copy to clipboard, then pasted the resulting code here in a “Node Red flow” section.

To use it you can click the button to copy the code to your clipboard.
Then you go to your Node Red page, right click, Insert, Import and paste the code you just copied.

i´m to stupid - which button to copy it to the clipboard?

Bottom right in the Node Red window.
Might be hard to see in your dark view.

^^^this :wink:

thanks, found it now, thought its somewhere outside of the picture

Hi,

Does anyone have an idea why DESS consumption data is not showing in VRM throughout the day? For example, today the data from midnight until around 8 a.m. is missing. Restarting the Cerbo always helps. The current consumption is displayed correctly the whole time. The issue occurs irregularly, but in practice it causes subsequent errors in the consumption statistics and possibly also in the DESS consumption prediction.

Thanks


I see new beta’s appearing the last few days (~76 and today ~81) , but now changelog yet…
