Modbus TCP load output control?

Hi, I'm hoping someone can pint me in the right direction. I have my smartsolar and GX setup for Modbus TCP integration with Home Assistant, influxDB and Grafana. That part is all working well. However I'm trying to get the load output on the solar charger to turn on and off via home assistant, but cant find the correct Modbus register from the published spreadsheet to control load output? Is this possible or have I missed it somewhere?

I can get the charger to turn on an off, just not the load output function. Seem's strange that this would be left out.


Kind Regards

Marcus

You are right, there are no registers related to the Load Output.
It could be useful to have though.

That's a shame. I was just trying to remotely activate some lights connected to the load output on the mppt charger. I'll have to come up with a new plan.....
