Hi, would like to use your Node red module, however the USB filter is causing a problem. I have a third party isolated, quad UART to single USB board from dupa.it so the filter is making it so that I cant use the module. Is there a way to remove or amend the filter to include this device?

lsusb shows:

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0403:6011 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT4232H Quad HS USB-UART/FIFO IC

I thought I just tried this but had no Victron Cable at hand, so I took another one from Prolific Technology Inc. with an ADUM1201 isolation to make sure I do not kill anything. I edited vedirect-usb.js restarted Node Red and indeed the cable showed in the port list of the node. I added an inject node and a debug node. Immediately the node showed the correct model, but when I activate inject nothing spectacular happens on the debug, i.e. only the following is shown
9.5.2023, 14:33:04[node: debug 17](http://192.168.173.122:1880/#) msg : Object { _msgid: "af976c52d773b6b1", payload: object, topic: "" }

I made a screenshot from the flow, where you can clearly see the green dot and the correctly identified model

What am I missing?

Yesterday, I've swapped a Smart Solar 150/50 by a 150/70 rev2.
Unfortuneately the messages are now quite strange with the new one:
I am getting 2 messages:

So I get sometimes in a row the one than it switches to the other and it is toggling.
With the old device, it was just one message including everything.

What might be the problem ?
I already downgraded vom version 315 to 313 but this doesnt makes a difference.

Hi, wonder if you might be able to shine any light on why the mppt node seems to be working fine and passing relevant messages, however the smartshunt is empty

In version 0.1.1 the dropdown menu not get populated. I'm using 3 original VE.Direct cables.

I am using v.0.1.2 and I connected the raspberry to a SmartSolar MPPPT with firmware version 161. NodeRed is v3.0.2 and Redmatic isx 7.2.1

I am setting up an VE.direct USB device and intiially everything is ok, but after some seconds the message is not altering any more. It sends every second the same message (with actual time stamp), but the values included are the old. And these are repeated over and over again every second (the injection interval). After redeployment of the flow it is ok again (for some seconds and than it repeats again....
