Good day!
v3.71~xx is available for public beta testing. Which means a short break in the v3.80 series.
Note that during this time, v3.80 beta versions are not available for download in the beta feed.
Change log below, and first please make yourself aware with the beta testing instructions:
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 SetupHelper, GuiMods, dbus-serialbattery or other add-ons?
Node-RED or Signal K
In case you are running Node-RED or SignalK, then please at least say so in your bug report.
SetupHelper, GuiMods, dbus-serialbattery
Modifications such as the popular GuiMods, SetupHelper, dbus-serialbattery and other 3rd party add-ons: do not report new topics in Venus beta. Please do it elsewhere instead; and make sure to check out the related issue tracker first.
These topics and beta testing and bug reports are only for clean systems.
See Settings → General → Modification checks in the New UI.

v3.71
- Is now released, equal to v3.71~3.
v3.71~3
-
Modbus TCP
- Correct register 3816 to report the EVCS session energy again instead of the total energy as v3.70 does. Thank @RicPAX
-
New UI
- Show the total solar power in the side panel of the “Brief overview” when only PV inverters are present. Thanks @Kladz
- Prevent “0.0” incorrectly being displayed in the tank status in the Devices list. Thanks @UnixWizard
v3.70 → v3.71~2
-
Venus OS
- Prevent a possible long boot delay when a USB Pen Drive is present. It seems to depend on the system if this occurs, but when it occurs there is a 150s delay, potentially leading to BMS lost events.
- OpenEmbedded LTS / Security updates
-
Peak shaving: Fix Peak Shaving shaving issues introduced in Venus OS v3.70.
- When actively charging the battery, peak shaving would sometimes exceed the limit by not reducing charge power sufficiently to stay under the limit.
- When a PV-inverter was on the output and pushing energy into the battery, and peak shaving was enabled, battery charging would be limited too much.
-
New UI: Fix the step size of the Temperature Slider.
-
VE.Can
- Fix channel 1 and 2 Energy Solution SmartSwitch DC4 being hidden.
- Fix running hours being capped for Fischer Panda gensets.
- Fix DC power for Fischer Panda DC models.
-
Motor Drives
- Report a more stable RPM when idling.
- Correctly report negative temperature and current for the Curtis F.
- Correctly report negative motor torque for Sevcon.
-
GX GSM/LTE/4G modem: Fix connection to Three UK. This might be related to the UK shutting down 3G support, so potentially helps for more network service providers.
-
Marine MFD HTML5 App
- Respect electrical unit setting configured to Mixed mode.
- Properly handle unrecognized unit configuration.
-
EVCS charging station: Fix an issue where multiple EVs or EV charging stations in a system could disconnect simultaneously when only one became unavailable.
-
Pulse Meter: Reset the aggregate when the count is reset.
-
Node-RED:
- Add split phase option to the virtual AC-load.
- Fix virtual device cleanup which might have caused virtual devices to disappear temporarily. developers
-
Modbus-TCP Server
- Fix register clash affecting Lynx SmartLithium batteries. There was a clash between registers 1318-1321, the highest temperature cell ID on CAN-bms batteries, and SmartLithium alarms. These have been move upwards.
