Do I need to VE configure the Multi for 5kW Easysolar with CCGX

I have a 5kW ES installation that we are powering on tomorrow. PV is connected through the EasySolar MPPT. Grid is available for back up charging.

We plan to control battery charging parameters through ESS which looks straight forward.

We dont have a battery monitor connected.

Before selecting the Multi as our source for SOC in CCGX, I was wondering, should I first use VEConfigure to enable and configure the battery monitor within the settings for the multi, or will the CCGX be able to monitor SOC without me configuring the battery monitor in VE Configure?

Yes, you will need to set this system up with VEConfigure first, ESS assistant should enable the battery monitor.

Please read more here in this specific section of the ESS guide:
