Note that automatic genset start/stop functionality is also available on the Virtual switch tab, which is easier to configure and does not require uploading another type of firmware. See the PDF [[https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/manual-VE.Bus-firmware-versions-explained-EN.pdf|VE.Bus firmware versions explained]] for more information about the different firmware types.
