AES disable via NodeRed?

Hi!
I would like to disable the AES of my Multiplus 12/3000/50 via NodeRed in case a certain condition is true.
But so far I am not able to find the setting for AES in the Victron devices in NodeRed on my VictronOS installation (Raspi4).
Maybe someone knows something?

There is a work around using a relay to trigger the AUX inputs of the Multiplus. You can use the AUX input to set the general flag using an assistant and then use the general flag to turn on and off AES.

But currently no software option is available as mvader said.

That sounds great. At my Multi I am already using T-Sense and Aux1 for BMS load and charge disconnect, so therefore maybe I could use Aux2 for that. As far as I understand I can use the assistant of VEConfigure3 to be set i.e. via MK3 USB. I will have a look into that! Which voltage range is defined to trigger the input on the multi?

Correct, so you set it up via VEConfigure. You just short the AUX + and - together with a relay or switch. It is 5V and you can drive the + to Gnd but I prefer to use relays.

Hi, Venus OS doesn't do settings on products; only control. And (thus) same for MQTT and node-red, sorry.

Any chance would get the option to set General flag via VE.Bus? This could then tigger Assistants to do things like disable AES. Thanks
