Hi Tobi, Great Video, It would be great to see which palette to import to control the RPI GPIO Pins, how to import it and then to create a flow to turn on and off the relay board using the RPI pins shown in a previous video.

Good starter video. Venus OS/ Node red are very powerfull tools to take ultimate control of your Victron ESS. I run my systems all of node red, ac coupled and in external control. With flexiable tarrif, Solar forcasting and exporting at peak times for grid response. Not sure if any other manufacturers let you have this much control over your system. Looking forward to part 2 :)

hi sir I just purchased a Victron multi-plus ii and im building a 48v battery so I'm not even running a system yet , I just stumbled on to your site and being totally new to this technology it should be interesting to follow along and learn. thank you for sharing

[@tobisreallifeskillswithtobi]

Great to hear! Let me know if you have a specific use case which might be interesting for the channel viewers as well to work on :-)

[@jannejarvinen790]

Hi, great video ! I´d like to see next part very soon. I am interested how to build control node, how to set desired inverter power. Manually controlled and scheduled inverter would be very interesting and learning example.

Tobi thanks for the video. Top notch! I need a Dupa. Do you have a link?

Howto incorporate Victron Orion-Tr Smart into node red? It’s only Bluetooth…

[@tobisreallifeskillswithtobi]

I still have not found a solution for this... Victron did not share any options to include it as of now at least and I'm not aware of :/
