I did the entire install myself for my generator. I bought a 20KW from Costco a little over a year ago. I was getting a new ac/furnace and the old ac was in the exact spot I needed to install generator. I made sure with the hvac place that they could place at a different spot and it was...

That's awesome! I had thought about that, but didn't realize I could tap into the battery. I have plenty of fiber, so I might run fiber to mine instead. My generator is only like 2 feet away from the house and the non-metallic liquid tite is very low risk, so my worry was any strike that went...

Thanks for the pic. :) It looks like in this that whole red block connects all the hots? I was under the impression they all just fed straight through and were individual, so I could have 1 block for each circuit.

I know this was a while ago, but did you ever do this? My panel has too much stuff in it, some wires are wire nutted, and I wanted to put energy monitor clamps on wires. I thought I might run all my home's romex into a box with a din rail and then run THHN back to the panel so it looks clean. If...

I hate running ethernet outside. I have a detached garage, and ran a conduit to the house and put in fiber. I figure 20gbits/sec is more than enough for the future. I have a whole house surge protector on both the house and the garage. If I go this route, I would just run a small conduit right...

Thank you very much! Could I just run wires right into the house and have the Pi and everything inside the house? It looks like it's just a molex connector, so couldn't I extend it into my home? I can run poe from one of the racks to an enclosure by the generator. My generator is not too far...

Did you get the hat or the phat? I don't know what the difference is or whether to get the high version or battery terminal option. I have never worked with a Pi before so I'm kinda new to this.

I like the Pi setup you have! I have a 20Kw Generac myself and wanted to do something like this for mine to monitor it. Do you have details for the Pi setup? Ie the wiring harness details, the software used, and how to connect it to the controller? Thanks! It looks really good!
