I checked my settings and they were retained also. No idea why the dongle for my MultiPlus continues to show under "other devices" - not sure that's such a big deal that it's not listed under "My devices". While it provides some really good info that I do use, it's usually under specific conditions, and rarely when I'm boondocking.
This summer it's been hot and I've been staying at parks with electric or full-hookups mostly, and I've rarely seen other Victron devices. I see them often when boondocking or at Lance Rallies.
I really like the new information - very handy. I know I will really appreciate it once it cools down some and I start boondocking again - it's always interesting to see what the two controllers are doing and see how much influence my portable panel has (a lot usually).
