Generator setup in Cerbo GX

When I plug into generator, power usage displays under shore on the cerbo gx display. Is there a change that would provide differentiation?

Unless it’s been updated, you’ll need to change a setting to match your source.

You can do it manually on a GX device here:

Or with Node-RED here:

Ac/In/0/Source:         
The source connected to the first input, 
0=not used, 1=Grid, 2=Generator, 3=Shore

Thanks so much for that. So after setting up ac 1 (shore) and ac 2 ( generator) , do you manually switch to the appropriate source depending on what you are connected to?

That selection can be changed with the 2 methods shown, and only changes the GUI display for the AC input #1 source.

My Multiplus 2x120 only has a single AC input. If you have 2 AC inputs, I’m not sure how that would work.

For a quattro you can se the inputs the same way in system setup you just have two options.
