Node-RED Multiplus Starter Trickle Charge

You will need to test to confirm this in your version of the flow.
In my flow, the disable functions are not routed through the 15 minute Delay node. This means that the Auto-Enable is limited to only happen once every 15 minutes, BUT, the Non-Auto Disable function can happen instantly any time the conditions are met. It looks like your version of the flow is like this as well.

So it looks like if your Orion turns on, the disable will happen without delay. You’ll have to test that.

I do think your system would be safer if you were not relying on the Orion “On” values as your way of detecting if your engine is running. Does the Orion really turn on immediately every time the engine is running? If not, then it’s not a reliable indicator of the engine state. Even if it does, the additional risk is that any failure of the Orion device will prevent it from acting as a proxy for the engine signal. Have you considered simply wiring a signal from an engine D+ circuit to a digital input on your GX device?

Hi Mark

I will double-check the test for auto-off

And I will try to locate a D+ signal from the van and try tour suggestion to use a digital input of Cerbo to connect it instead of relying on Orion

I am anyway interested to get an fast / immediate Engine-ON signal to create another flow that would alert me immediately when the engine is started while the Dock/ P17 cable is still connected (220V supply in) (to avoid moving the vehicle with a cable still connected) :slight_smile:
