Physical switch for Shore Power limit?

[jcbarr23]

What does it take to have a physical switch that toggles shore power limit between say 15A and 30A? I know many chargers have this in their settings/on their remote screens, but how many of them allow control in a separate physical switch? Maybe through Home Assistant?

I'm assuming Victron allows this through Cerbo GX. With what others can I accomplish this?

Thanks

Victron also has a remote panel that allows you to set AC input current limit with a knob:

Digital Multi Control 200/200A - Victron Energy

Set the PowerControl and PowerAssist current limit for two AC sources using the Digital Multi Control 200/200A. Find a dealer nearby.

A friend of mine has the panel that is linked to in the post above. It works well. We tested it last fall when he used my trailer to charge his trailer.

If you have either the USB or the Bluetooth dongles for the Victron Multiplus you can change the AC input amps that way. So there are multiple ways to get a Multiplus to do what you want. I have the MK3 USB dongle, but I use the Cerbo GX/Touch 50 to adjust the AC input amps.

While I'm rarely in campgrounds, I have found that I change the AC input parameter more often than I thought I would. I connect to shore power at home only when I need to run the air conditioner while preparing the trailer for trip or cleaning it after a trip. I set a 15 amp limit in that case. When I'm boondocking (or doing the monthly maintenance of the generator) I set the input to 45 amps.
