How to read AUX1 / AUX2 inputs and control AUX Relay on MultiPlus-II GX via Node-RED / D-Bus?

Hi everyone,

I am trying to interact with the auxiliary terminals on my MultiPlus-II GX (specifically the AUX 1 / AUX 2 digital inputs and the AUX Relay).

Could someone please advise on the correct procedure to:

  1. Read AUX1 / AUX 2 inputs: What is the best way (e.g. via VEConfigure Assistants such as Programmable Relay / General Flag) to expose the physical status of the AUX 1 and AUX 2 terminals to Venus OS / D-Bus so that they can be read as inputs in Node-RED?

  2. Control the AUX Relay: How can I drive/switch the internal AUX relay directly from Venus OS / Node-RED?

Any examples of the required Assistant setup in VEConfigure or the exact D-Bus paths/Node-RED Victron nodes to use would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
