Hi everybody,
the "Relay mode" setting of my BMV-702 (parameter 11) has three options;
The last one, "Remote", is not listed in the manual so my question is; does anybody know the meaning and the function of this setting?
Thanks a lot,
Guido
Hi.
It is to allow the relay to be controlled remotely via the serial port on the BMV.
Someone else asked here: https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/1403/bvm-712-smart-relay-what-does-remote-do-not-in-doc.html
The manual is yet to be updated.
Hi,
thanks a lot. That means there already is or will be a (write only) command in the VE.direct protocol to control the relay?
Hi, after investigation i found the way to control the BMV relay from venus command line.
Assume that a BMV7xx is connected on VEdirect bus as port 2 (ttyO2 device):
Power ON : dbus -y com.victronenergy.battery.ttyO2 /Devices/0/VregLink SetVreg %0x034E 1
Power OFF: dbus -y com.victronenergy.battery.ttyO2 /Devices/0/VregLink SetVreg %0x034E 0
Please note also that the setup on the BMV is set as "Remote Control" with Victron Connect, you can force this setup with: dbus -y com.victronenergy.battery.ttyO2 /Devices/0/VregLink SetVreg %0x034F 2
