UPDATE 2026-3-30 - v3.72 has been released officially today.
Good Morning!
v3.72~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.
Change log
v3.72 →v3.72~6
- The Pylontech updater reported a failure if a device was found on earlier CAN networks instead of the last one being scanned and hence was not detected by VRM. This now returns success and hence it can be found by VRM.
v3.72~5
- New UI
- Show the min and max BMS Cell Voltages in mV again (It was changed in v3.70 to display 2 decimals for all DC Voltages).
v3.72~4
- Fix minimum allowed firmware version check
- This could cause unexpected udate error 129 “firmware downgrade not allowed” or cause systems to be downgraded with too old firmware versions.
v3.72~3
-
ESS
- A safeguard to prevent an overly high setpoint from blowing fuses caused the maximum AC power setpoint (over all phases) to be the same as the limit on L1, causing unnecessary battery discharge in some special cases. Thanks to @victron_user.
-
Node-Red
- Set labels on the dropdown of virtual switches.
v3.72~2
- Node-RED
- Restore missing Custom Control node paths.
- Correct the BatteryLife/State enums.
- Correct the Bilge pump status display.
v3.72~1
-
VE.Can
- Fix the VRM instances for Skylla-i/IP44/IP65 and BlueSolar VE.Can MPPT 150/70 & 150/85 chargers. In v3.70 these were accidentally different than before.
-
New UI
- Disable the screen blanking on HDMI screens which do not support blanking. Since the GUI stops updating certain values when blanked some values were frozen on non Victron screens.
-
Various stability improvements and fixes.
- Fix a small memory leak.
- Fix VRM logger crash that can sometimes occur at startup, in systems where the solar charger output is used to measure DC loads.
