The EasySolar has a programmable relay and with the "generator start/stop" or "programmable relay" assistant you can control that relay.

Hei Mathias, thanks for your reply. At first i have to correct, i have the

Victron EasySolar-II 48/3000/35-32 MPPT 250/70 GX


not the 24 volt model, but i guess your information about the ess is stil correct for this unit aswell. But im wondering how to activate/install the ess ?

Generator start/stop has nothing to do with ESS.

The GX module inside the EasySolar don't have a relay.

The programmable relay is in the MultiPlus part of the EasySolar (an EasySolar is a MultiPlus + MPPT + GX device together in one case).

You need VE.config for that. To connect to the MultiPlus you need a MK3 Interface or the GX device has to be online.
