Will a relay screen be available soon for 3.5x?

Q&A and troubleshooting New UI
1

Hello Victron Community,

I have not upgraded to Venus OS version 3.5x yet because I don’t think it yet has functionality to control relays via the Remote Console screen. I have 6 relays working currently on v. 3.42 using GuiMods, including the generator relay and a temperature relay to warm the battery when it gets too cold.

I would like the newest version of the OS to have a comparable controllable relay feature before I upgrade. I know that the author of GuiMods will not be supporting v. 3.5 and above.

Thanks!

Hi lfhoward,

This and other relay questions were asked more often since the release of the new Venus OS:

Same issue
Renaming relays 1
Renaming relays 2
One of the solutions with the older Venus OS

As far as I know the part “Relay” is on the radar of Victron, so maybe this will come in future updates.
In the mean time I stick to the classic Venos OS, this still works perfect for me.

Victron, any news on this?

For now I’m using the following compromise with version 3.5 and beyond:
Install GUIMods, keep défaut GUI to v1 so your remote access can offer you to go either with old GUI (and then you can control the additional relays) or enjoy the new GUI for everything else.
