Yes,

You could program the relay at your GX, in several logics

I have programmed for low soc and overload, but I want to programme for if day hasn’t charged batteries upto 100 percent for gen to kick in and top up , so system hits night fully charged , am I missing another setting? I wondered about something off of relay on mppt example day/ night lighting...

@Matt drummond bell what about using the "periodic test run" feature, set daily, with a start time, and just set to "run until battery is fully charged"?

Hi not a bad shout I will have a think about that! It’s a shame the street light setting on mppt doesn’t work the relay, I thought I could loop to multi and use genset relay on that to start on a seperate soc setting, then back to main genstarr on colour control, but no!! Lol
