In this video we tackle two things at once — and both are genuinely useful on their own. First, we walk through how we connected our Cummins Onan generator to the Victron Cerbo GX using a pair of timer relays, giving us remote start/stop, timed runs, automatic start on low battery SOC, and run hour logging for maintenance reminders. Then we go one step further: working with Claude AI, we built a closed-loop generator load optimizer — GenOpt — that runs natively on the Cerbo and automatically manages the AC input current limit in real time. No more babysitting. No more surging. And significantly more charge current than we ever safely achieved manually. Not sponsored — just a project we're genuinely proud of.
