Apologies if asking something obvious, new to this all. - Does the loadshedder fit into a BD or does it need to be mounted outside of it? - I recall reading it works with Tuya. So if it connects to Tuya, I can use Tuya to create a scene triggered by the loadshedder, which would turn off a bunch of smart switches (like CBI astute)? Or does this only work if the smart switches are Sonoff smart switches? - what high amp sonoff smart switch could I use to turn off a geyser, and a stove/oven?

Thanks for the replies, I was thinking of something along those lines... I'd found this https://www.bidorbuy.co.za/item/5785690 ... gIFMvD_BwE to trigger and this to "switch" https://www.geewiz.co.za/smart-plugs-sw ... gKlcfD_BwE which use Tuya (i'm not familiar with Tuya or EWELINK. Is there a preference of one over the other). Wifi quality could be an issue, I'll need to see how to improve it too.

Greetings all Hope you can assist with something. Excuse my ignorance, I am new to this. On the edge of getting a 8kw system installed, two 5kw batteries and 8x 545w s/panels, the idea being to cover load shedding and reduce utility bill, with a view to maybe being off grid far in the future. The issue I have is that I want to power two outbuildings on the system, each of which have a geyser and stove. Installer has said I need to have separate systems for each, but I can't believe that is right. Firstly I would think at worst, it should be possible to lay a second power cable to each building to provide a essentials power supply and a non-essential power supply. This would be a pain as it would mean digging up driveways etc. But would it not even be possible to set up a remote switch on the circuits of the out buildings to simply cut those stove and geyser circuits when there is no utility supply? or when battery power gets below a certain level? I understand that sunsync is bringing out a remote switch shortly that can work from their inverter, and I can't think that it could not be programmed to cut out geyser and stove circuits. Your thoughts?
