I have a 12kw portable generator setup for power outages and using an interlock in the main panel, all works perfect but, I have to go out and press the starter button to fire it up.
So, I bought THIS as it is Tuya based and is controlled from the app that controls all my home automation, it also intergrates with a 433mhz remote. However, if I start it using the app (set to engage the starter motor for 3 seconds) and it doesn't start I have to try again. And, if I set it to engage the starter relay to be on too long I risk damaging the starter, etc.
I think I need a sensor that once the engine has started will disengage the start relay, via an optocoupler or similar.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions ?
