It certainly would not pass a code check but hey who cares, it's all yours, who needs to butt in.  ;)

Yeah code left the building when the relay went in... but then I needed to change how the relay functioned, and well, there you have it. Sadly, there's a couple of rather spacious dual gang boxes in play now due to similar mods the other way... maybe someday they'll get swapped around and redone but for the moment, this is gonna have to just work. :-\

An appropriate source for another upcoming sub-project - the manual radio address/data inputs and "punch" switches will come from this board... No idea exactly what it went to (in terms of make/model), but you can bet it didn't run Doze! ;D

Pseudo-revised AC mains sketch... shouldn't be considered "complete", but illustrates the key points to the present situation at hand...

It's a tough call... which has priority? Shore power, or genset??

If you know you're likely to lose shore power (storm etc), you might start the genset to be safe. In this case, you want the genset to have priority and run until you say otherwise.

If you're running on genset and waiting on power to return, you might want the shore-power return to shut down the genset - but you might want to wait a bit to be sure it's hanging around too....

Either/neither/both are right.

Yeah it'll come down to what's practical I think as far as that goes.

Is it just me, or do they kinda appear to just be staring through you too...? This is the same look I get when I try to blame something on them...
