ESS Controlling feed in limiting externally

I want to store energy in my battery bank and only start feeding it back to the grid when electricity is most costly to maximise my profit. Is there a way to control the export limiting in a GX device externally? I have software which can monitor the price of electricity and it needs to control the export to grid based on the price of export electricity.

With ESS in mode 2 or 3, you can control charging and inverting:

You can use node red and venus os for this purpose:

Or, you can use the dbus values in your favorite environment with mqtt or modbus (eg. Home Assistant).

Has anyone succesfully implemented price control in node-red? If there is any material/videos available on how to do it I would appreciate a link :)
