Sorry, I posted earlier in this thread "This is an induction generator system. No inverters present."
Although almost anything can be done with logic devices it does as you say require a bit of rocket science. Anyway I don`t want/have a hierarchy of `loads` to switch in. I want to prioritise power generated into (1) anything I happen to switch on at any time (2) background heating (3) export to grid. 2 & 3 would be summer and winter options. With the sensor/dimmer that I have described there is no need to do any clever switching (getting the computer to decide that a combination of the frrezer,one immersion heater and an electric blanket would be best use of the power available)
Justme
That level of `automation` is pretty much the default option.
Reverse power relays exist. dimmers exist. Just need to find someone who can bolt the two together.
Cheers
