If you don't need a grid connection at other times, I have implemented a solution using a Raspberry Pi, reading the data using XML from the Mate3 and parsing the values, and opening and closing a relay which control a contactor. I used SOC as my guide, that's probably the most important value, but you can also use voltage. If you know a little programming it is easy to implement. Let me know if you want any guidance.
