Can I make the Victron generator start/stop relay status visible in VRM?

hoi,


is there a way to see the status of the relais inside the quattro

somewhere on the vrm page or on the color?

i use the gen start / stop assist on the quattro , not the one on the color.


grtz kristof


p.s. maybe i looked over it on the vrm site???



edit:

iam not using it to start a gen. just to send pulse to a remote switch, to switch my grid inverter from ac-out to ac-in.

so it would be nice to see somewhere the status on the front screen of the colorgx

Hi Kristof.


Yes on the wishlist; but it will take (quite a) while before this gets done.

Ps. If you use the GX device for generator start/stop; then the reason why the generator is running is visible on the page; and also part of the excel download.

Good to hear its on the wishlist ( for now i let the zigbee disconnect (reciever) together with the relais, so when my "pv inverter" is not visible on the color, i know the relais is not working and pv is on the gridside)

Hi, my answer of yesterday was wrong sorry for that; its been removed now.


what we fixed recently is that you can see status of gx device relays and also other relays on vrm advanced pages. Those relays *can* be used for generator start stop. Especially the gx devices have quite a comprehensive generator start/stop programme. And on VRM you can not only see that the relay is closed, but also what condition made it close.

But: the status of the relays in the multi is (still) not available.
