Q: how to fetch and read multiplus config

DumpySquare commented 2 years ago

Is there a command line tool to download/upload and read/modify the config from multiplus devices, outside of the main Victron Connect application?

Yes, use WINscp you can SSH right into and do like you want. Regards Rob D NZ

Thank you. what command do you issue to download/upload the config from the connected multiplus(s)?

RobDuthie commented 2 years ago

You go into the settings/general/ then set access level to super user by holding done rhe right arrow key for about 5 sec enter a new password , turn on SSH on Lan and remote support. When you open WinSCP you use the command line tool putty which is included, Most of time you can use the gui interface to do changes no command required. Regards Rob D NZ

@RobDuthie, thanks. I have SSH access and I'm rather familiar with linux systems. I'm more interested in how VenusOS(VRM) manages the entire systems config file. The file that would need to be backed up and restored as part of a firmware upgrade. I'm probably looking for details on how the remote VEconfigure (through VRM) works or a command line workflow version

Looks like this is close: https://github.com/victronenergy/venus/wiki/dbus#vebus-systems-multis-quattros-inverters

But I'm not seeing anything about parallel vs split phase or "invert only" functions.

I think the parallel/split phase configuration objects are in their own config area, but the invert-only might be around here.

also looking at: https://github.com/victronenergy/venus/wiki/dbus-api https://github.com/victronenergy/venus/wiki/howto-add-a-driver-to-Venus
