It is in an ess or system control node. Just search in this forum. Discussed many times before.

Thanks Nick, appreciate your answer, but i can promise, thats my first effort before i post a new topic here. As i mentioned above, i have searched through all senseful nodes including Custom Control, VRM API etc. but found nothing. Maybe i have overlooked somthing, that’s why i post it here.

I will update my GX to 3.73 and find out if maybe it has moved. And let you know. I have been switching states for ages now using this method.

It isn’t there after the update i couldn’t find it either and the flow I have does not work. I am uo to date on 3.73 normal release But here is a discussion from the beta side. [image] Venus settings → ESS BatteryLife State Node-RED Hi, I’m running venus OS 3…
