Great inverter with REMOTE capability!

like a quality inverter. I use it to power a small off-grid solar system (mainly to control outdoor lights). The most important thing for me was the ability to control the inverter remotely (turn it off during the day). And while it's not mentioned anywhere in the manual or on the box, there's actually an RJ11 connector that you can use to turn the device on and off. There was no pinout documentation, so I contacted support on the PowerBright website, not expecting much for an answer. To my shock, the first person I spoke to immediately gave me detailed information on how to connect the remote. "Conclusions 1 and 6 are not used. P2 - LED, P3 - +12V, P4 - ground, P5 - SWITCH. Pin 5 is permanently low. A 5V pulse turns the device on and off. In fact, a quick touch from P3 to P5 toggles inertia on or off. Make sure the physical power switch is always on, although I can control it wirelessly using an Arudino-like controller with an RF transceiver and relay card.

Pros
  • beautiful thing
Cons
  • I'll write later
