Hello @Lpopescu and Victron team! Half a year ago I started to using DESS, because of spot prices - previously I used simple ESS in combination with EVCS supplemented by some extra features in Node-RED. For about three months I am running DESS in trade mode (instead of green mode) with battery to g…

Hi, we are working on moving the EVCS auto algorithm into the GX. And there are lots of things that will change around it. I know about all the things that you are describing above. Thanks!

Thank you @Lpopescu ! I everytime appreciate good response from Victron team and listening to the opinions and experiences. It’s probably silly to ask when you would expect implementation in Cerbo SW (even in beta), right? :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: :grinning_face:

It’s good to hear that work is being done on the integration. @Lucian - I hope there are still some new u…

Any updates on this topic? I think the lack of these obvious things is sticking out like sore thumb. Because Dess governs the entire flow of energy automatically it’s very frustrating that you need to manage your EV charging like a caveman. Is there a way to control charging with an api? This can b…

Hi Lucian, Do you have any idea when EVCS and DESS will work together in a proper way? I’m using both since a few month but using EVCS makes the prediction of DESS really inaccurate. And then the way of planning and working of DESS is really disrupted. It would be really great if we get an idea, w…

Hi. A new video by @Hhalewijn shows that it is now integrated into DESS beta version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BC-HjnvKj-k

Third party integration

Is Victron intending to add OCPP 2.x protocol support to the EV chargers?
