Grid Down Reporting with new firmware - What MQTT Topic to subscribe to this alert?

With the new firmware and Gird Down reporting enabled, I recieve an email and an audible alarm when the grid fails which is great, thank you Victron for that update!


I would now love to know what MQTT topic to subscribe to for this alert. MQTT is something I have fairly little experience with, so any help is appreciated... I am subscribed to N/985******5e7/battery/258/Soc for battery SOC, N/985******5e7/pvinverter/20/Ac/Power for PV Inverter output, etc... Can anyone point me to the right path for the grid status?

Old topic, but if anyone is interested this is possible now as of v2.60 firmware.

1. Enable Monitor for grid failure under Settings > System setup

2. This will generate an alarm when grid fails which is available under MQTT on the topic

venus-home/N/18xxxxxxx4f/vebus/261/Alarms/GridLost

The values I've seen:

0 - Grid available

2 - Grid is lost


Good luck!
