Only alerting for SOC Alarm for Low SOC, not high SOC

I want to add a low SOC alarm, but it seems to require a high SOC alarm too. I don't want constant alarms about the batteries being in a good state, just when they are lower than I prefer and might not be paying attention. Thanks, Bill

@bigbillsd

Which device are we talking about? Are there other components in the system that could play a role in this? If so, please mention them too.

I want to setup a Low SOC alarm on the BMV-712 via VRM. Just want an alert if the state of charge goes lower than I usually want to keep it above. I just cannot see a way to leave the High SOC alarm inactive. -Bill

Hi @bigbillsd,

This is probably not intended. But maybe you can trick the system by using a value for 'High' and 'Clear high alarm' that cannot be reached and thus overrides the 'High' alarm rule. Give it a try.
