See last bullet point.<\/p>\n<p>Good morning,<\/p>\n<p>Today we have released Venus OS v2.41 &amp; v2.42. For those not familiar with Venus OS, it is the software at the heart of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/live\/venus-os:start\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GX Product range<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This new version brings a few bug fixes, most of them introduced with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/2019\/12\/11\/venus-os-v2-40-nmea2000-out-solar-irradiance-and-more\/\" target=\"_blank\">release of v2.40, last week<\/a>. I recommend installing this version on all systems now running v2.40.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fix intermittent BYD communication (only) on some systems. The connection to the BYD battery timed out, to then restore and later time out again. Besides showing &#8216;disconnected&#8217;, it could also cause the MultiPlus to go into passthrough, or even worse, shut down. This is now fixed. Our apologies for this bug and any problems that it caused; it shouldn&#8217;t have happened. And my thanks to the various customers that have reported this and helped in pinning it down.<\/li>\n<li>Fix setting the Tank capacity on the Venus GX no longer working. This problem was introduced with v2.40 too. Thank you Craig W for reporting this very cleanly, it helped in making an immediate fix.<\/li>\n<li>Improve enabling of Remote Console on LAN and VRM on the CCGX. A change several versions ago made it possible, but not likely, that setting (or disabling) the password wasn&#8217;t stored to disk properly, causing Remote Console to not work at all or not accept the newly set password.<\/li>\n<li>Fix the 12h and 24h interval setting in the VRM Portal menu. When 12h was selected, it used a 2 hour interval instead. And instead of a full day it used four hours. Note that we added the 2 hour and four hour intervals, and systems previously set to 12h and 1 day are now set to 2 hour and 4 hour; so as not to change their behaviour. To get 12h or 24h, change the setting. This bug was introduced a long time ago.<\/li>\n<li>Small fix in the LED handling of the Venus GX and Octo GX. It now fully matches the behaviour <a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/live\/venus-gx:start#leds_and_push-button\" target=\"_blank\">as documented in the manual<\/a>, also when using the button to reset all network settings to default (a new feature, introduced in v2.40).<\/li>\n<li>Fix a bug in the VE.Bus Diagnostics menu, it could get stuck; to be fixed only by a reboot. This was broken in v2.40, solved in v2.42. Thank you Elvis R. for reporting!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How to update?<\/h3>\n<div id=\"pageContainer1\" class=\"page\">\n<div class=\"textLayer\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">You can find information about how to install the new version of Venus OS\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/live\/ccgx:firmware_updating\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"pageContainer2\" class=\"page\">\n<div class=\"textLayer\">\n<div class=\"text-layer-inner\">\n<p class=\"textbox\" dir=\"ltr\">In conclusion, I wish you a good day!<\/p>\n<p>Matthijs Vader<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATE: Dec. 20th 2019, we made another new version today after discovering an easy to fix issue this morning.
