Cerbo GX Relay control, make SOC and other values available

Hey, i recently bought a Cerbo GX believing i could make several of my systems (van & offgrid station) smarter and dump excess Energy from my panels for other uses. Unfortunately not even the Cerbo gives me the option to trigger the Relay based of SOC. I thought this is a no brainer.

Yes, for some Applications it´s possible to miss-use the Generator Start/Stop BUT it´s not allowing a start (99% SOC) condition > stop (90% SOC) condition. So I can not switch on e.g. a water heater after my batteries are full and dump some energy until my battery reaches a critical level.


Free programmable SOC Based Relay control would by great!!!!

Please, Victron give us this option in a Cerbo and a BMV712!!


In the meantime i guess I need to learn to program this in Red (if this is possible). Any suggestions?

kind regards Kai

that's good to know Thank You! But still don't understand why those features don't come as a standard
