MP / dESS - change AC Load power in node-red

Modifications

Hi!
Is there any possibility to limit the AC charge power in node-red?
dESS decides to charge my battery at cheap grid times, but doesn’t take care of the grid limit (4600) and it charges at full speed.
So depending on my AC load, the grid power goes much higher than my limit and I have to pay additional fees…

Thank you!

I have not yet discovered that option, but you can restrict the DC Amps with Node RED by a Modbus-Write node to Unit 100 with FC 6 and Address 2705 to your Server modbus-tcp@venus.local:502 and an inject node with msg.payload 50 or whatever amps you want it to restrict it to.

But you also could configure your victron with the remote console by setting ESS Peakshaving option to restrict AC inrush and set the Amps also for exporting you can set the Amps.

the maximum import and export power in DESS are just for calculations. they are not settings. to maximize charge and discharge you have to adjust the CCL and DCL under DVCC
