Good day!

A fresh new thread for v3.73 beta feedback. Temporarily suspending v3.80 betas.

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](https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ccgx:beta-testing), 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.

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.

For software components in the large image, nodered, signalk etc, please post in their relevant sections - nodered and modifications.  
There is a beta tag for both, please add that to the post.  
There is no need to add cross links to those posts here, that is what the tag is for.  
The core venus OS team is not responsible for those components and can’t help here, there are dedicated teams who will from time to time look for those tags.

Thanks for understanding.
