Hi all, dear Victron community, could you please help me settings up auto start/stop my Honda EM6500SX generator from Cerbo GX. Do I need to buy a remote kit:(something like this https://www.ebay.ca/itm/225195933610?var=524126965788)
or just the Remote Start Control Connector Kit and run the wires to Cerbo GX:
I also attached the generator manual and wiring diagram (it is too complicated for me)

Appreciate all your help!

The GX device provides only a relay closure: closed to run, open to stop.
Honda generators require two signals: a constant closure while the generator is running and a delayed start pulse. The run/start closure turns power on to the generator. The start pulse initiates a start sequence. The pulse needs to be delayed a couple of seconds after closing the run/start contacts and should last about 1 second.
It looks like the control box you referenced will do all this for you. That box has a connector that will accept the run closure from the GX device. It is a direct connection between the GX device relay output and the input to the control box.

Many thanks @Kevin Windrem !!!
Could you please tell me where I can configure the "start pulse" and other Cerbo GX settings required for this setup. I looked in VictronConnect app and I don't see any settings, just the Nerwork and device name. I don't see it in VRM either.
Thanks again for all your help!

The "start pulse" is something you would need to generate with circuitry external to Cerbo. I believe the box you referenced in the original post will do this.
Cerbo has an extensive generator control system that can automatically control the generator based on many different parameters.
Check out these docs from Victron:

BTW, I noticed how the community forum became way more active compared to a year ago, I had to scroll several pages down to find my post from the previous day :)))
Great job Victron support team!
