I used to be able to override the current DESS strategy using modbus register 5429, but with Venus OS 3.6 this no longer works.

modbus register 5429 only reacts to the"used strategy for schedule 0" and not to “used startegy for current time slot”

Is there any way that i can manualy override the current DESS strategy using home assistant.
