For those looking to learn about DESS and Node-RED, I am sharing my hybrid dess trade flow, as-is, very alpha ‘work_in_progress’ but still interesting for those seeking some examples on how to get things done with Node-RED, DESS, VRM-API etcetera. Sorry can’t offer too much help with it but at least I tried to make everything as clean and self explanatory as possible.
To get anything working you will need to import at least ‘node-red-contrib-boolean-logic’ plus whatever is needed to get Node-RED DESS up and running and replace all the ‘null_use_your_own’ id and token stuff.
If I will (ever) find the time to do a full documented version I will start another thread under ‘show my system’, until such time you’ll need to DYOR.
Cheers and have a great weekend.

Some setting:
Schedules: Node-RED DESS is leading in setting charging schedules based on its ability to set ‘b_goal_SOC’ (at 100%) and ‘b_goal_hour’ (at 18h) . When Node-RED DESS schedules to charge before VRM DESS does, VRM DESS gets triggered into ‘keep batteries charged’ and ‘battery balancing’.
