This is what solar wind priority does. Is there a reason why you are not using it? Unit to old so it is a firmware issue?

One way is ve config and disable the charger.

The one I have attached has (renewable energy state) a feedback message for checking if it is doing what you want it to do.

You will obviously have to edit the two orange ones for your inverter.

The digital input node was being used with the bulge pump option on a digital input on the GX for charging on demand.

The grey inject nodes are for testing as well.

Sorry if I am over explaining, I don't want to under explain either as I am not sure how comfortable you are with node red.

Thanks for the information. I'm fairly good with node red, long way from expert!!, The unit i am using is a quattro so it is a bit different but it's given me something to look at. Haven't seen solar wind priority. My system is on the end of a long crappy mains connection and there are two victrons in stand alone on it, had issue which victron sorted but can't usee ess so using node red. I can control it by turning ac off but get alarms and can't use assist mode so was trying to stop ac in charging while allowing the fronius on the output to charge it.

Don't suppose you know where is a list of incoming messages that can be used?


Thanks Dave
