This is for batteries that no longer have their own dry contacts. CAN-bus signals can be relayed to the relay(s) of the GX device to signal devices that only support analog signalling. victronenergy/venus#737

Add support for switching relay contacts based on BMS signals For batteries that no longer have their own relays, switch the GX relay(s) based on CCL=0 or DCL=0 commands on the can-bus. victronenergy/venus#737 Support more than two relays (only on dbus, only useful on unofficial platforms such as Raspberry Pi).
There are two open questions about this:
And for my self: why is this feature relevant? Some use cases:
Lastly, thinking about this, there are pure Victron systems that need our attention as well, perhaps better to focus on that first?

- Remove feature to control relays using BMS signals This needs more thought and perhaps should not be done at all. victronenergy/venus#737 - Fix SCS bug where adding a VE.Can solarcharger would disable SCS Broken since Venus 2.40 when SCS was introduced Closes victronenergy/venus#792 - Publish service name of BMS on dbus

Background: Some batteries are losing the physical allow-to-charge and allow-to-discharge relays. They use only CAN-bus communications for this.
In such systems, where there might be other equipment that still relies on an analog switch to control them.
Solution: Make it possible to switch the relays on the GX device so that these can be used instead.
