Get prices in Node-red directly out the Cerbo GX

I cannot retrieve the dynamic prices directly from the Cerbo GX. I have tried using the MQTT node, the HTTP request node, and the Dynamic ESS and ESS Control nodes in Node-RED, but none of them seem to return the dynamic price data. Is it only possible to obtain these prices via the VRM API node?

I (finally) managed to get dynamic prices by following the steps from Dirk-Jan Faber (see below), but I like to get them directly out the system.

My configuration is a mulitplus II, cerbo GX an 16kWh battery. The system is set to Dynamic ESS,.

For a standard system that is correct. The Cerbo GX (VenusOS) is pricing agnostic. Only the scheduler, or your own code/flow, knows and acts on pricing data. They can be obtained from VRM via VRM API or other sources such as your energy supplier.
