Cannot limit charge power #26

Hi, and thanks for a great app for Homey!

I am using it in my boat with Cerbo GX and a 12/3000/120 MULTIPLUS-II.

One key features I was looking for was the possibility to automate charge power. If we are on shore power for a long time I do not need to charge so hard, and want to reduce charge power. It can also be situations where we have weak shore power and want to reduce charge power to make room for other appliances.

But the system does not respond to that flow card. I have made a test flow to reduce charge to 50 amps and it is executed but charge power does not change. It still goes with 120 amps. If I use the same test flow to change "switch position" to inverter only/on/off/charger only it reacts instantly. Also all telemetry data is flowing into Homey perfectly. I have tried to turn on the setting "control charge current" in "advanced settings" on the Cerbo device, and restarted the app, but that did not change anything.

So I can't get this key feature "Limit charge current" to change anything. Am I missing anything? Possible to debug? This was one of my main reasons to spend 2000eur on Victron... 😂

Nevemind, I had to enable DVCC inside Cerbo. Could be added to settings page or somewhere else as a tip! :-)
