Restart Victron MultiPlus-II GX via network command

Sometimes my Victron MultiPlus-II 48/3000/35-32 GX looses connection to the energy counter (Shelly 3EM). The value freezes and the MultiPlus starts discharging.

I can detect that via home assistant. So far I always had to restart the GX in the web-interface manually.

Is there any possibility to restart the system with a web command (eg. Modbus)?

Thank you very much!

you can restart it by logging on with ssh and doing a restart, but this is about as complex as doing it through the remote console. It cannot be done by modbus.

Maybe turning the Multiplus off and on again with register 33 will do what you want.

1=Charger Only;2=Inverter Only;3=On;4=Off

Or maybe a VE.bus reset with register 62. /SystemReset

1=VE.Bus reset

You could configure SSHD with public key authentication and then you can trigger the reboot via 

ssh <venus-ip> reboot

from HA without being asked for a password.
