Hello, I would like to add an energy meter to my Cerbo to measure/collect some (EV) consumption data for use in Node-red. Can I add this new device without integrating it in VRM, but still collect the data? I tried to change the current PV-meter to AC-input2 which did not show up in VRM but seems to collect data anyway. Is this the way to go? ---

Ended up integrating a VM-3P75CT as a PV-inverter meter on AC-input2 which is not enabled in VRM. Node-red flow to read this EV-power usage and adjust input current limit accordingly (my EV-charger is not part of VRM and attached before the GRID-meter). ---
