Color Control GX: v1.22 Firmware released

Good afternoon,

Yesterday evening we released version v1.22 of the Color Control GX firmware. New features include support for products from two of our partner companies: Fronius PV Inverters and Oceanvolt marine electric motors.

In the background we are also testing the long awaited Remote VEConfigure (which also allows you to change Assistant setup!), more on that in the coming weeks.

The manual is available at https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ccgx:start and it is currently being updated to include all the new functionality.

Have a good day,

Matthijs Vader

Change log

• Added support for Fronius PV Inverters. For more information, see link: https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ccgx:ccgx_fronius
• Added support for Oceanvolt marine electric motors. (defaulting to off)
• Added support for latest MPPT solar charger models
• Battery menu: improved layout, show V/I/P in a single item
• Battery menu: show mid-point deviation in alarm notification
• Do not show negative Power for the Wireless AC Sensor, show 0 instead.
• Added VEConfigure3 detection: the CCGX will automatically stop communication with a VE.Bus system (Multis/Quattros) when it sees VEConfigure3. Communication will be restarted once the MK2 used with VEConfigure3 is disconnected from the system. Restarting can take 30 to 60 seconds after disconnecting the MK2. Note that this also solves the 1100kWh peaks on the consumption and solar yield tab.
• Added the name of the active input (Shore/Grid/Genset) on the overview and tiles page.
• Added pages for Lynx Shunt VE.Can configuration (requires Lynx Shunt VE.Can v1.09 or higher)
• Fixed bug that caused ‘ghost BMVs and MPPTs’ to show, when using the USB to VE.Direct interface.
• Fixed bug that caused a Multi/Quattro to remain invisible when the following sequence of events had occurred:
  1. First a Digital Multi Control or VE.Bus BMS is connected
  2. Then these are disconnected or powered down
  3. Then the Multi is switched off
  4. And there after the CCGX is rebooted
• Fixed bug in battery status text on the tiles
• Fixed bug in reboot message size, so translations also fit
• Fixed bug in the data transmission to the VRM Portal: ‘you need to pay’ or ‘you need to login’ type http responses from (cellular) gateways were not detected. These pages would make all seeming normal on the CCGX, while there is no data coming in on the VRM Portal.
• Fixed bug in the data transmission to the VRM Portal: added sending of Time to go & State of charge for the selected battery monitor in systems with multiple battery monitors (System Setup -> Battery monitor). This change makes the related selection box on the VRM Portal obsolete, it will be removed.
• Updated Modbus-TCP gateway:
  1. added reg. 301 and 302: battery energy charged and discharged (data originates from a BMV)
  2. 1030, 1034 and 1038 (PV Inverter kWh): changed scale from 1 to 100, to align with all other kWh parameters.
• Updated all translations
