We field-tested this unit for over a year across multiple sites and were very pleased with its success and reliability. However, correct installation of the LoadShedder complements any and all inverter systems.
The LoadShedder automatically shuts down devices such as pool pumps, geysers, dishwashers, and any home automation devices that you deem non-critical to preserve battery power.
You do not need to perform additional rewiring of the DB board. All appliances that need to be controlled require smart devices like Sonoff Basic or any other Sonoff products.
Full integration into other smart home platforms such as Smart Life, Samsung Smart Things, and Top 20 brands is possible. This is fully cross-platform designed via IFTTT.
Certified installers, electricians, and solar installers are the target audience for this product.
