node red and ESS inverter limits

I have been fiddling with logic to adjust the ESS inverter limit.

The setting in the node allows a value of 0 to any value you like, but there does not seem to be a way to pass a value to disable the limit.

If inverter limits are disabled, the value read back from the node is by default 0 which means no inverting.

Any ideas how this parameter can actually be disabled instead of being left on and configured with a high value?

To disable it just set it to -1. This works with all values that can be disabled.

Indeed, worked that out a while ago and it is working well in my flows.

Iirc at the time, pulling the value from the node used to show a 0, on current nodes it now reports -1 as expected, which is where the confusion originated.
