Creating a post to continue the discussion from here:

specifically so I can see any follow ups to @ptrenz comment:

“due to the high demand, we are right now working on adding support for the DSE 4520 MKII. As this specific model does not support starting and stopping via Modbus, it will use one of the GX relays for the start/stop signal. Therefore, it will require some additional wiring in contrast to the other DSE models. I will keep you informed.”

Hi @glenborrodaleit, thanks! I’m happy to let you know, that development work is almost completed and this feature will be available for beta testing soon.

Here is a preview of how it will work:

The DSE 4520 MKII will get available in the device list as soon as it was found via Settings > Modbus TCP/UDP devices, as with all other connected genset controllers. As it does not allow start/stop commands via Modbus, you will be prompted to enable a new relay function for Relay 1: Connected genset helper relay. After wiring the GX Relay 1 to the genset controller, the generator can thereby be started and stopped.

Stay tuned and keep an eye on Venus OS beta series announcement and changelog - v3.50~22.
