+Ignoring AC input will force a Multi or Quattro into inverter-mode on certain conditions, even though there is  mains or generator power available. For example to force the system to run 100% on battery and solar power.
-==== Other options ====
-Note that in many cases there are better options than implementing this combination of the generator start/stop and the general flag assistant. For systems with recent hardware, which has the new-type microprocessor (the 7 digit firmware numbers starts with 26 or 27, instead of 19 or 20) use the Self-consumption Hub-2 v3 assistant. That is an all-in-one assistant takes away much of the complexity.
+Ignoring the AC input was first introduced on the Virtual switch tab. It is much easier to use the Virtual switch to configure this, however if you must disable the Virtual switch due to another necessary assistants then it is possible to use an alternative way.

 ==== Making AC Ignore by using the Generator start/stop and the General flag assistant ====
 The most common (or only?!) system where below assistant configuration makes sense is an AC-coupled PV installation, using Multis or Quattros with the old-type microprocessor (the 7 digit firmware numbers starts with 19 or 20, instead of 26 or 27).
