Generator Monitor Victron Energy Meter Et112

I want to monitor my Generator output. I am using the Venus OS on my Raspberry Pi. I found the Victron Energy Meter Et112 and have a few questions. 1. Which CT do I use to get amperage reading. 2. Does it read frequency?

The option in node red, does not show Hz as an option, although, in documents on the et112 it actually does read Hz.....

`AC/Frequency` is not available on the ET112 from Venus. However, the ABB meters do provide that. You are right that the Node RED node does not support it yet. I've added an issue for that (https://github.com/victronenergy/node-red-contrib-victron/issues/159)
