 ===== Introduction =====
-This can be very useful for DC connected solar energy systems where the VE.Bus SOC is not accurate. The goal is to ignore AC in, unless the battery SOC measured via the BMV falls below 50%. Configure the BMV to close its relay when the SOC falls below 50%. [[http://www.victronenergy.com/battery-monitors/BMV-700#manual|For the BMV 700 read the manual section, 4.2.2 relay settings]]

 Now the BMV will close the relay when the battery SOC is below 50% and this signal can be connected to Aux1 or the temperature input, for example, on the Multi.

 With these three assistants used together AC input 1 will be used (not ignored) when the BMV closes its relay.
-For those people who do not want to use Hub 2 assistants (AC out connected solar energy) they can use the above three assistants, plus at bottom position assistant "Inverter support". By doing this you will have also AC connected solar taken care of and still be using your BMV SOC as the deciding factor to accept grid energy or not. This will also work well in case there is AC connected solar and DC connected solar energy.
