Digital Input - Enable but hide on touchscreen?

[WhiteCitySolar]

I have some use cases where I would like to use the Cerbo digital inputs for custom function via NodeRed but hide them from the touch screen.

It’s purely for an aesthetic reason and not to confuse the end user of the device who won’t have any knowledge of the logic running behind the scenes in NodeRed.

Examples would be using a 2 position switch to set the generator to auto start or manual run.

Or again use a switch to allow the users to toggle the shore power limit from 16A to 32A depending on what is available at their particular location.

Ideally it would be nice to either hide the digital inputs or be able to set custom states. Neither of which I’ve figured out how to do yet…

Like on this picture below where the digital input 3 is hidden?
If yes, then modify the qml file responsible for showing the menu options.

I mean from the Devices List page. I don’t want an entry for an enabled but “hidden” Digital I/O.

If it’s not enabled I can’t access it via NodeRed.

The recommendation stand: modify the corresponding qml file.
But beware that if you don’t have it, you obviously won’t be able to enter it and modify its parameters later.
The only way to modify its config will be to modify the dbus values.
