Solar Assistant latest beta update - Software version field not showing

Featured Replies

Morning All,

Did a beta software update of SA on Friday and noticed that now the Software version field on the Configuration is not showing.

Anyone else with this issue?

Not sure now how the next update would be done as the field does not show anymore?

Have done a reboot, shutdown and restart and reported the issue to SA.

I think the standard response here would be to email the developer and let him know.

He's pretty responsive and if it's a bug, it will probably be rectified. I'm not sure if it's just a visual bug or if it will actually prevent future updates from being picked up.

Thanks, have done the email to Pierre and he is good at getting things sorted.

Was just interested if others had the same issue or just on my side of things.

Hey, I've spoken to the SolarAssistant Devs and this is a bug they are aware of with the latest Beta. Another beta will be be published to address this along with a couple other small issues with the latest beta so just keep up to date and this should be fixed soon, luckily it's just a visual glitch and does not effect your ability to update once the new version is available. 

I hope they give attention to adding support for the Victron MPPT charge controllers via VE Direct to USB in this new version, we practically handed the code to them on a silver platter.

So, last night there was a software update. Whilst the software version field was still not showing, below that the normal text showing that an update was available was showing.

I did the download and the system restarted. The bug has been fixed and the software version field is now showing again.

Just did the update.

Unable to connect to Pi via internet🙄

Have you tried connecting via bluetooth and restarting the Pi that way?

HI....did you ever manage to connect the Victron MPPT to the Solarassist. I have almost the same config of inverter/MPPT/Solarassist.... what a struggle !
