Cerbo / RV-C Generator Control

Hey folks! My Google search terms don't seem to be right, so hopefully this is a simple question and I just can't find the answer.


Installing a new Victron setup in a motorhome and I'd like to wire in the generator controls as well. The remote panel is around 30 feet from where the cerbo is and at the top of the RV door / complicated run down to the bottom of the RV. Everything is wired into RV-C though and managed by the Firefly system. Can the Cerbo send RV-C commands to start / stop the generator if I were able to find those commands rather than needing to be wired into the relay ports?

Section 15 in the cerbo manual (and related appendix) covers what is supported.

It does not appear to support generator start/stop, but that isn’t my area of expertise.
