Who makes gateway type devices for 400A service homes?

Kohler makes a number on industrial 400A transfer switches. Very programmable too. I got one on Ebay that had never been installed for about $1200 and mated it with my 30 KW diesel generator. A great pair, and have modbus interfaces to a remote control and display panel in my house.

Tesla doesn't play with 3rd party transfer switches, so it will never be clean, but for non-tesla batteries there are a number of solutions. EV's with decent sized batteries and V2H are now just getting cheap enough for me to pair them with something like a solaredge bidirectional EV charger so the economic model closes for load shifting. And you get a free "car" as well. It's a lot cheaper than buying the equivalent number of powerwalls, though I don't need to power everything in the home on battery since my genset does that.

cool!

I just want a simple way to diagram a 400 amp service home for V2H during emergencies.

Gets a bit complicated with batteries, solar, and loads having to be split across two 200 amp panels.
