Load output triggered by SOC%

I’ve installed a few Lifepo4 batteries as Aux batteries in vehicles.

I fit Orion XS, 300a SmartShunt, and a SmartSolar MPPT 100/20.

I can connect them all to VE.Smart Network.

Is it possible to share the SOC% to the SmartSolar so I can turn the Load output on and off by % rather than just voltage as this really doesn’t work well with a lithium battery.

The SOC is not shared. A BMV-712 battery monitor rather than a SmartShunt has a programmable relay that could be used to switch loads via a Battery Protect. It do not know if it could be used to control the MPPT load output via a non inverting VE Direct cable.

I am aware that it doesn’t do what I want it to do.

I was hoping someone from Victron might see it and add it to a future firmware update. :crossed_fingers:

Best idea then is to label the topic as feature request and post it into a relevant beta topic, maybe Victron Connect beta.

Thanks I’ll put the post in that section.
