Victron ve.bus mandatory v1.20 firmware update - Anyone had issues?

[Jon22896]

Looks like Victron pushed out a mandatory firmware update for ve.bus yesterday via victronconnect.

I have one connected to my multiplus 3000. I use it regularly to adjust input voltage.

I need to adjust my input voltage to prevent my batteries from dying, but I can't without updating.

It is too cold and too dark to risk an issue with the new firmware. Especially because it says it will reset all settings to factory default. I set it up a few years ago and don't recall any of the settings.

Anyone pushed this update yet?

Surprising they aren't giving you a clear path to saving settings first before update.

Do you have another device to use to connect locally no internet. It won't know about the update and you may be able to download your settings that way?

You should be able to back up your inverter settings using the ve configuration tool on PC? Then restore them after the firmware upgrade is done.

But this seems to be an update for the ve.bus comms dongle, not inverter firmware itself?

The update is indeed for the dongle: https://professional.victronenergy.com/news/detail/287/
