Does this need to be a non-volatile value, or can it just reload the default at each boot?
Volatile is fine, and preferable IMO. I think most users using PV divert would choose to have VRMS set via a real time MQTT feed since it's a requirement for PV diver to have an energy monitor which will also be monitoring VRMS
I see this thread is closed, but would it be possible to add a manual setting similar to the "SC amps [V] - set current capacity" command? This way a user could hard set the voltage one time for their environment (ie: 208 or 240) in lieu of obtaining dynamic energy monitor readings and obtain more accurate kWh output.
Thanks @lincomatic the $SV rapi command works well. Is there any chance you could append a version number to this change?

you can open that up as an issue if you like and i'll see if i can do it when i'm less busy. big problem is, we're nearly out of flash. there might not be any space to implement that

you mean RAPI version? Sure, I can increment it, but I've kind of moved away from that, because it's very hard for an applications programmer to keep track of what version of RAPI does what. Personally, I just try sending a command, and if it barfs, I know it isn't supported.
For the solar divert we are adding config to allow setting the voltage to either a static value or an MQTT feed from an energy monitor for live updates. This should allow for better conversions from power to amps.
It would also make sense to also feed this into the EVSE so it can better calculate the power.
