Hello,
In my full-timing Promaster converted class B RV, I will have a 3KW Multiplus, Lynx Smart BMS, Cerbo GX, 800Ah of Victron Smart Batteries and a Battery Protect. I expect to have to leave the motorhome unattended & without shore power for several weeks at a time when we might travel overseas. While in this state, certain items will need to be powered up which will drain battery. There will be a 200W solar panel but it is possible that the RV is stored indoors.
I am looking for a way to have the engine start when the batteries have drained below a certain point so that they can be recharged from the primary alternator, and the engine shut off when they are charged sufficiently.
I have looked at the Victron documentation for remote starting a generator. There are devices available that will start the engine based on a contact closing & stop it when the contact opens - e.g. Evo-all by Fortin - https://fortin.ca/en/products/evo-series-modules/evo-all/
I am looking for confirmation that the start-stop signals available from Mutiplus or a GX device as described in the links below can be used to trigger a remote start device such as the Evo-all above.

Thank you for your time & any help.
