Generator start/stop: Start a connected genset with GX relay #1286

Open ReinvdZee opened 1 month ago

See this discussion on slack.

Connected gensets start instace com.victronenergy.startstop1, which is able to start the connected genset via modbus. However, some genset models support readout via modbus, but cannot be started remotely over modbus. They can only be started with the start relay.

To support this, there must be a way to let startstop1 control the GX generator relay. Preferably without starting startstop0.
