Cannot change state of Relay for MPPT Charge Controller #62
Comments
Hi, we’ll look at that asap - but might take a few days. You also posted the same question on community right? Can you add a link to that here to prevent double work? Thank you, Matthijs |
A member in the forum said that "Node red will not control relays on charge controls or any Aux relays on the Multis any time soon" - Just confirming this before I close? |
Hi, took me a while, but I know now what the issue is. I've documented it all here: https://www.victronenergy.com/live/venus-os:extended#controlling_relays So, relay control for MPPTs is coming - I'm not sure when yet. Depends when someone has time to fix VictronConnect to make it possible to set the MPPT relay to be manually controlled |
@mpvader is the VictronConnect code open source, I haven't seen a repo so I figured not? I'm glad to contribute if possible. |
Hi. No its not @KidA001 |
@mpvader I'll close the issue. If there is any way I can help or post elsewhere to get support for the victronconnect app to work on this let me know. thanks again for your work on this project |
I'm running Node-Red on my rPi VenusOS which is connected to my Victron 150/100 Charge Controller and Battery Shunt. I created a flow to open or close the relay on the charge controller but noticed the state of the relay wasn't actually changing.
I'm debugging the flow by logging the msg.payload I'm sending to the charge controller relay, and also by logging the current state of the relay. Regardless of what I send to the relay it does not change its state. The message I'm sending to the relay is either
{ payload: 1 }
or{ payload: 0 }
Either I'm sending the wrong payload, the victron app is overwriting what I'm sending, or the node-red-contrib-victron can't properly change relay state. Below is a screenshot of my flow along with the JSON. I've left the debug's in there
