I few months ago I have made a simple node red flow to control the ESS Max charge and ESS Max discharge Power values using the standard ESS Control node.
I have recently updated my CerboGX to the latest version 3.62 and the Node red libraries to version 1.6.33 and I noticed that when I open a ESS Control node there is no possebilty to select the Max Charge or Max Discharge Power measurement anymore.
I am aware that the Limit charge power is not available (in the GUI v1 or V2) when DVCC is enabled.
As you can see in my latest screenshot the Maximum charge power and maximum inverter power values are visible and changeable using the GUI (V1 and V2) But I do not have the option to change them using the node red node ESS Control Node anymore.
When I double click on one of my ESS Control nodes I see the second screen shot.
The measurement field is empty. As soon as I try to lookup the measurement I see screenshot 3
There is no ESS Max Discharge power or ESS Max Charge power in the list.
When I leave it empty and not save the flow, the flow still works.
I checked the JSON of one of my flows and noticed that the path /Settings/CGwacs/MaxDischargePower and /Settings/CGwacs/MaxChargePower are used and are still valid.
So I think these options are missing in the ESS Control node.
Maybe a bug?
There wasn’t a commitment to fix it in the next beta, these things can take time depending on other priorities.
Keep an eye on the changelog. If a fix is applied it is typically listed.
In the meanwhile consider the workarounds proposed.
Yah, unfortunately it comes with the territory. What we as a community won’t know, is whether it is a bug or if it was intentionally disabled. With holidays, things also tend to slow down a little this time of year.
