Victron ev charger , grid connected system issue with stopping charging

Hello everyone,

I am wanting to program a Victron ev charger to start charging when the house battery reaches a certain SOC, and automatically stop when the house battery goes below a certain SOC.

I have connected the communications to the EKRANO GX controller, and the ev charger sees the GX unit, all good so far.

I set the two SOC values for example on 90% and off 50%, And I put the delay time to 5 min.

The ev charger keeps charging the ev even when the house battery drops to 40%.

I see some information saying that this is only active when the house is not grid connected? Is there a way to enable this feature even with the battery system connected to the grid?

I can not turn off the mains as I use it to charge the batteries during free power times and to supplement the output power if the output power approaches the maximum power draw of the inverters

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Thank you
