Venus "AC output" Generator Start option - source of reading BMV-712?

I have a BMV-712 connected to my Venus. Is the BMV-712 able to send the AC Output metric to the Venus to trigger the AC output condition?


I do not have a Victron inverter, so I'm hoping that the 712 can be used as the source of the AC output trigger condition.

The BMV can never know the AC output (but when no other users / sources active, DC power is pretty much the same as AC power minus losses).

You can use DC current as a trigger with the same result:
