DESS charge/discharge mode disappeared

I did not need charge-discharge buttons for the summer time.
Now I went to the remote in vrm searching for charge discharge modes in DESS as I needed to charge the battery - planned maintenance on my street for hours. They were in VRM options before and disappeared at some point.
The horror is that the charge /discharge modes disappeared from remote view now.
How am I supposed to charge/discharge my batteries form/to grid now?
Did they disappeared only for me?

After Venus OS firmware 3.34 the buttons were removed.
You could go back to that version.

I mis them to. It’s better to put them back. Otherwise I missed all the other futures from the new version.

Thank you,
So I have to stop update from now on to have this simple way to charge when needed.
Horrible. I was thinking update means going forward, not deleting useful functions.

Not being able to charge before a storm, planned maintenance or discharge before negative prices… this would be a deal breaker for me on buying a Victron device in the future.

You could just turn DESS off and use the scheduled charge option under the ESS menu.

It’s more easy to make a flow on Node Red to Buy or Sell instead to use the scheduler.

Thank you. Unfortunately I do not have the time to invest to move this to Node Red.
I wish it would be a ”future” feature.

Thank you.
I will use than until I find the 3.34 build as I see it is not a direct search and download.
