    I’ve been hearing that VictronConnect is the new software on the block, but I’m curious about how it stacks up against VEConfigure and VEFlash. Are there specific features that haven’t made their way into VictronConnect yet?

    VictronConnect is indeed the newer software and is designed to be user-friendly, offering compatibility across various operating systems beyond just Windows.

    However, it’s worth noting that it doesn’t currently support all the features found in VEConfigure and VEFlash.

    For instance, if you’re using Assistants for specific functions like AC PV or ESS, you’ll still need to rely on VEConfigure.

    The same goes for if you need to use the Virtual Switch functionality, although it’s important to mention that some of the most popular Virtual Switch features are now accessible through the AC input control feature in VictronConnect.

    Additionally, changing the Grid Code and using the Lithium Battery Wizard for setups that require an Assistant, such as those with a VE.Bus BMS, aren’t available in VictronConnect.

    And if you’re working with the MultiPlus-II external current sensor, that’s another instance where you’d need to use VEConfigure.

    So, while VictronConnect is making strides in ease of use and accessibility, there are still some advanced tasks that will have you turning to the older software for now.
