    Violating a Princess!

    As I’m going to have to buy 50mtrs of 2.5mmsq, I’ll do the lot in it. No I haven’t connected live to neutral lol.

    Clever Switching for water heating.

    I think the switching the supply to the immersion element will be easy by just using a solid state AC relay. If it sees mains on the EHU the relay will connect it and vice versa. If I use a BMV-712 on the habitation battery I can use it's relay along with - https://amzn.to/3wmf3ba do do the...

    1.5mmsq is actually supposed to be up to the job, but I'll go to 2.5mmsq.

    Clever Switching for water heating.

    Shockingly, that's what it's all about. (excuse the pun) Murky is setup on switches and one relay I think. It's remembering how to do what. I've convinced (maybe) Anita that this will be a simple automated version. And more efficient.

    LPG tank shortage.

    One thing that should be good is that you will be able to use any brand of propane. Also using a BBQ connection or the like you should be able to add a portable cylinder as a reserve. Personally I've tried to move away from gas and only using a gas cooker now.

    A few more additions to the electrical cupboard. Hopefully I'll be able to shoehorn some relays into the consumer unit. Yes I know the yellow cable is too small, another reason a lack of bits stopped play.

    Clever Switching for water heating.

    Yes David, that's along the lines I was thinking. I'm going to use the Cerbo also, so that makes it easier. I do like the idea of the forced battery run, I might include that. So operating from the EHU with a user on/off switch. Not forgetting the calorifier has a thermostat. Operating on...

    Clever Switching for water heating.

    Simple configuration. Plugged into the Mains hookup and you can flick a switch for the 240v element in the calorifier. As above but a Multiplus is inline with the switch on the output side. So you could heat the water from batteries. Battery saving/extra harvesting. Use a BMV relay to operate...

    Since when have technical support staff understood the products they represent?

    Have I missed anything?!?!?! Will this end in flames?!??!?!

    I've seen coaches that run independent earth/return cables to devices at the rear. I wonder if it's due to galvanic corrosion?

    The big question is, can you also view your electrical data?

    Electric front seat

    Looks like a fun job to play with on the bench. At least it looks like it's got a stand alone controller.

    Electric front seat

    The seat must have an encoder for the position, sounds like a job for a Pi.

    What you need is the cars wiring diagram.

    Be gentle with me, advice greatly received.

    With the Betty build I took into account of the location of any shadowed areas. And grouped my panels in three. Each with its own controller. The panels are in series to harvest that last little bit.

    Another very important job David, treat that rust before it gets out of control. ;)
