Suggestion: Generic Digital in on gx devices

Hey!

Im using a cerbo gx in my van with the large image for node red. Id be really convinient if one could define custom names on the digital inputs of the gx. E.g: im running a rainwater collection system and id like to monitor when its turned on and react to it with node red. The settings allow me to do that, but currently i have do define the input as bilge pump.

What id like to do is: give it the type "custom" with the name "Rainwater" and log into vrm when its turned on (same view as with relays).

Could this be a future feature or is this possible by modifying setting files on the device diretly?

Thanks a lot!

Erik

You can name the digital input from the Device List. Select the device from the Device List, then select Device. You'll see a Name parameter there.

I am also very interested in this little upgrade. I'm using the digital inputs for a bunch of things, but none of them correspond to the standard labels. How about a little upgrade Victron :-)

Well, after three years I can second that, it's hard to use digital inputs when they forcibly appear on main screen with a name you cannot alter. Or, for generic input, would be great just to have it silently - with no reference on main menu.
