EasySolar-II 48/3000 with v2.90 - how do you setup the manual generator control?

We have an EasySolar-II 48/3000 in parallel with two Multiplus 48/3000. We also have a 10kW Generator. I have upgraded the built-in GX device to 2.90, but I cannot find anywhere to configure the relay so that it can be manually controlled (There is nothing listed in the 'Control' section of VRM). I don't want it to be automatic, as I wish to control the times of day. I've read that should be possible in the new v2.90, but I cannot find any menu that has a specific 'Relay' control as per the Victron documentation. I'm sure I'm missing something - but if anyone can please point me in the right direction, then that would be great. Thank you, Ben.

The EasySolar don't has a relay on the GX module that new feature is only available for the Cerbo GX, Venus GX and the Color Control GX.

Thank you for your quick response. The EasySolar does have relays - presumably as part of the Multiplus component? It would seem a massive oversight on the part of Victron to not have these controlled by the built-in GX module?

The relays you have there are part of the MultiPlus and they can't be controlled by the GX module.

Thanks again for your reply. This is certainly disappointing - especially as Victron say the EasySolar-II range of products should be compatible with the generator controls. I'm already looking at developing a web-based control for our generator - its just a shame Victron have overlooked it in this case.
