ESS and UPS, can they coexist

Dear all

I still have to activate my ESS (and install my panels) but I have a "beginners" questions.

While setting up my MP2 (5000), one of the options (i need) is UPS as we have regular grid failure.

My question, when setting up ESS, will the MPPT supply power to the loads when the grid is active (SOC 100%) - and when the grid is out, it will revert the power to loads and battery? Or do I need Node-Red to do the priority settings?

ESS does it out the box, just need to chose the mode via the GX ESS settings, node red isn't needed.

Go browse the ESS guide https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ess:start">https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ess:start

And watch some of the video tutorials on professional.victronenergy.com
