Your CCGX has a menu devoted to starting/stopping the genset with a variety of conditions. Whats missing is the device to tell the Onan to Start/Stop. I have a PLC (Programmable logic controller ) which produces the required 3 second pulse required to get my Kohler generator to start/stop. Once you find out what your Onan needs is all "Plain Sailing".
I have resisted the urge for the genset to be on "Auto" I connect via the VRM portal and start it myself. I always make it a timed run because i dont trust the internet. If it falls over and i cannot get to the stop button........... well eventually it would run out of fuel :)
Additional resources still need to be added for this topic
