Node-RED - Force Battery usage for self consumption

Modifications Node-RED

Dear All,
I’m now looking to migrate some of the controls I’ve set up in Home Assistant over to Node-RED, so I can manage everything in one place and in a more professional and structured way.

At the moment, I’m forcing the inverter to use the battery by physically disconnecting the input load—clearly not an ideal or sustainable solution.

Which parameter do you usually control to achieve this behavior? I came across a couple of options, but they don’t seem to be the right ones:

  • /SystemState/ChargeDisabled → BMS has disabled charging
  • /SystemState/DischargeDisabled → BMS has disabled discharging

Specifically, which parameter do you modify to force battery usage and ignore the AC input?
I’m not interested in feeding energy back into the grid—my goal is purely self-consumption.

Switch the inverter to inverter only is the simplest way. There is already a inbuilt function in the GX that does this from the gui so interface with that.

Don’t mess with the battery parameters for this use.

Thanks a lot LX, I will use your suggestion.

Just for documentation purposes, here where the setting is located:
