Venus GX for reading charge state/level of a pylontech US2000B

Hello, I have Pylontech US2000 unit and I want to connect the VENUS GX via the CAN-Bus-cable to the Pylontech unit for the following purposes

- See the charging Level of the Pylontech via Internet (Victron Cloud)

- use the Venus for switching relais according the charging state/Level of the Pylontech for at least one external load

- is it possible to switch more than load according to the charging state (eg. Load 1 at 50% load , load 2 at 70% load??)

The first two are no problem.
switching two outputs is as far as I know only possible with a Multi / Quattro unit (using assistants)

Hallo @Boekel,

thanks for the respond. So I will get a VENUS GX and add it to my Pylontech Battery unit. I have already the Victron BMV 712 - this gives Rough Information - but direct communication to the battery ist better.

What do you mean: Multi / Quattro unit ??

You didn't mention if you have Victron inverters in the system / and if so what type, so that's why I mentioned Multi / Quattro.

Hallo @Boekel,

I have an Effekta HX 10.000 hybrid Inverter. This System does not talk to Pylontech. Therefore I try to use Victron components for detailed information and Control functions.

Just to clarify, you do realise the the Venus is not going to talk to your inverter?
