Node-red force absorbtion

From inside Node-red, running on Cerbo-Large how can I force a Multiplus to begin a normal absorption cycle? I know how to READ the state via the Modbus registers, but there are no writable ones to get this started, that I know of... There is a way I am missing, I know :)

You might look at the new Custom Control node in the recent node red update. You might find what you need in the inverter section. I haven't looked myself so this is only a suggestion. I can't say for certain if it's there.

I saw that... I thought it was still in Beta test... I'll dive in and see if it's in the released version.

Thanks! It looks like in the current release the only control options for the Mulitplus I have are for switch position, and input current limit. I'll see what the new release holds! I am very anxious to get my hands on the solar priority settings as well!

You can do the same thing with mqtt but the new nodes make it much simpler.
