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 (Programmable Logic Controller) to get for example load shedding, optimizing use of solar energy or automatically starting and stopping a genset. text/html 2019-01-22T09:16:19+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.victronenergy.com/live/assistants:how_to_update_an_assistant?rev=1548148579&do=diff How to update an Assistant When started, and connected to the internet, VEConfigure3 will automatically download the latest versions of Assistants.
