Venus Cron job not altering BatteryLife/State 9

In a Cron job, the following two commands are not run:

00 12 * * * root /usr/bin/dbus -y com.victronenergy.settings /Settings/CGwacs/BatteryLife/State 9

00 16 * * * root /usr/bin/dbus -y com.victronenergy.settings /Settings/CGwacs/BatteryLife/State 1

I cannot see that the change took place looking on the Venus menus.

What am I missing?

I was having this issue too, the correct command is:

dbus -y com.victronenergy.settings /Settings/CGwacs/BatteryLife/State SetValue 10 (or whatever you want the mode setpoint to be)
