Cerbo relay to control heating system

I'm sure this is answered, but I can't find it.

I would like to use my Cerbo GX VRM instance to manually switch the heating system on my boat (at this point, I'm not looking to do it programmatically, and I think I could do that with what I know). I can switch the Phoenix inverter that drives my diesel boiler from VRM. Works like a charm. I'd like to be able to use the Cerbo GX to short out the manual switch which controls the relay which drives thermostats and fans (the circuit pulls about 200 ma). How do I set up the relay for a reasonably easy control in VRM? The electrical connection is trivial, but I can't find the "switch" in the UI. (The use case is crew would like to have the cabin warm for winter sailing, and so I want them to be able to use VRM, thus taking me out of the loop).

Thanks!

If it's not there, VRM isn't Realtime.
