Virtual switch & false "Grid Lost" Alarm

Is there a way of the VRM indicating that AC is being ignored and prevent the "Grid Lost" Alarm when using VS? If Not, it would be useful to have this feature so that it is easy to monitor the grid for someone using VS to ignore the grid and prevent false "Grid Lost" Alarm.

With 50+ people following this question within 4 months of posting, it would be good if Victron could respond even if it's a "future release" response to acknowledge that there is nothing we can currently do to prevent this "false" alarm.


Anyone know how to  bump for Victron's attention?

Disable the vs in the multi and use node red on the gx to create a flow to do what you want. When ac in is ignored (switch position set to 'inverter') from within the gx it will not issue the grid lost alarm. You can also setup some dynamic inputs through node red dashboard for making changes on the fly.
