Hello, We are switching from MasterVolt to Victron. When i turn off my boat House mainswitch, i want to inverter also be in off. But if shore power is connect inverter/charger doesnt charge batteries. I need to do it manualy. Any one know how to make it like MasterVolt?

so there is no automatic function to do it. And there is no solution otherwise i need to cut wires from this three-way switch. Its very inconvenient. everything is good for us whit Victron but this remote switch is not.
