I use the Nodered virtual pv node for getting my pv production into the Victron. At the moment I do dynamic power limitation via node red using own logic. It would be better if there is a virtual pv device node that outputs the pv percentage required like with modbus pv inverters, so dess is aware and capable of pv power limitation.

Can this be implemented?

> I’m wondering if anyone has managed to get power limiting working for an AC PV inverter that’s injected into the Cerbo GX via a Node-RED virtual device. My setup: I’m using a Node-RED virtual pv inverter to feed my PV data into the Cerbo. This works fine. I noticed that the path /Ac/PowerLimit exists on the virtual PV inverter device, and I’ve been able to read from it and map that value back to my actual inverter so the inverter does respond and limits its output to the specified wattage. So …
