 ==== What are Assistants? ====
-Think of Assistants as apps, as on a smart phone. Assistants are little applications that run inside a VE.Bus Multi, Inverter or Quattro. They reduce the overall cost of a system: in 99% of all installations it will not be necessary to add an additional PLC to get for example load shedding, optimizing use of solar energy or automatically starting and stopping a genset.

-In advanced systems you can also combine multiple assistants, it can even be usefull to add an assistant multiple times. The Assistant logic is executed from top to bottom, which makes it possible to create complex logic.

 VE.Bus Multis, Inverters and Quattros must be loaded with 2xx or 3xx firmware in order to get the Assistants tab. Note that running these firmware versions disables the use of the Virtual switch tab. For 95% of all Victron installations it is not necessary to run Assistants at all. They either do not require complex logic, or the required logic is included on the Virtual switch tab.

+==== Combining multiple Assistants ====
+Multiple Assistants can be used in one unit. For example the Programmable Relay is often used multiple times. When doing so; this is how they are evaluated:
+- an ON condition always has priority over an OFF condition
+- multi criteria in the ON ( or OFF ) list go by the OR principle
