Color Control GX v1.72

Good afternoon!

Just now we have released Color Control GX v1.72 which contains several bug fixes and support for some new Victron products. Also it adds compatibility with the PylonTech lithium batteries, which we’ll explain more of in a later blog post this week.

Changes

• Fix bug in the VE.Direct driver that caused unresponsiveness and crashes
• Add SmartSolar chargers and the new VE.Direct equipped Phoenix Inverters to the list of supported products

Hub-4:

• Fix bug in the GUI: when the Minimum SOC level was set higher than the BatteryLife calculated SOC level, the ‘Actual State of Charge’ field showed a lower value than the real lower limit.
• Fix bug in the limit charge power and limit discharge power settings. When applying those limits, loads and/or PV Inverters connected to the AC-Out of the Multi were not taken into account. Now they are.

CanBUS-bms battery driver:

• Always follow max charge- and max discharge-current limits as transmitted by the bms; no longer react on alarms. Affects all CanBUS-bms connected batteries.
• Fixed bug related to alarms and warnings coming from LG and Sony batteries. Alarms were interpreted as warnings, warnings as alarms.
• Added support for PylonTech batteries.

From the Mobile overview, it is not possible to switch an Inverter back on after switching it off. As a workaround, navigate to the Device list and re-enable the device from there.

Installing the update

By default, a CCGX will automatically download and install new firmware via the Internet, as soon as there is a new version available. For a manual update, follow instructions here.

That’s all for now, enjoy! And in case of any questions or issues, please let us know in the comments below.
