In blackout/off-grid situation, if the load exceeds the battery max Continuous Power, can Smart Hub G2 start the generator and draw from both sources?
(I guess, just starting the generator and drawing only from it would be acceptable as well)
Context: heat-pumps are my main source of heat for my house, and on cold days it may consume as much as 20kW. And I would like to avoid buying two-stack setup which doubles the price.
Yes, the Gen2 support generators see datasheet here: https://us.fox-ess.com/wp-content/uploa ... t-1103.pdf
