How can I use my Victron system to control the pool pump when the sun is shining?
I don’t want to drain the battery running the pool pump, but if there is enough sunlight and the battery is fully, I want to turn the pool pump on.
First step is to make sure that you’re running GX firmware v3.70 or later on your GX device (Cerbo or Ekrano GX)
Then you need to make sure that you have a suitable switch to control the pool pump; such as a Shelly.
Then you need to enable Node-RED on your GX device - there is a video here with an introduction to Node-RED, and how to enable it;
Once you have the Shelly switch (or other suitable switch) connected to the GX device, and Node-RED enabled; then you can set up the Node-RED flow to control the pool pump.
See this video for how that’s done step by step:
Victron will be running a live webinar shortly with the Shelly team where you can learn more and ask questions to the teams.
I’ll post the link here to the webinar announcement when it’s live.
