      Can the Vue 2 tell me when the power is restored on the mains during a power outage?  If I have the main breaker off and have switched to a back feed breaker for generator supply…

      Trying to figure out a way to do this as it could be very helpful

      Thanks-

      Agree this would be nice, and I also have a similar setup where main breaker is turned off and generator back-feed for power outages (interlock).  Unfortunately the Vue2 can’t tell you when the grid is back if it is isolated by the main breaker being off – no current flows through the mains sense clamps.

      The way automatic transfer switches determine grid up/down is by having an uninterrupted voltage sense connection to the grid, or an electric field sense device.  We don’t have either of those methods available with the Vue2 hardware and accessories.  Nice idea for a future enhancement though.
