You need at least version 1.5.16 of node-red-contrib-victron to get that working. Which means either switching to the beta firmware feed or waiting until 3.40 gets released.

@ItsMe

The control for a relay can only be 0 or 1. It is either on or off.

@Alexandra

thank you for your reply.

;-) I know that, but I'm talking about the "CustomName"...

The Relay was just an example to demonstrate it. It happens on ALL Custom Control Nodes, even the one I've created by myself.
