I think you'll struggle to find such a piece of kit, although it's not a bad idea, switch on a light and the Genny kicks in!
Can't you just make do with a remote start switch/switches that you can operate before you switch on the light/whatever?

hi thanks for replying. i can do the remote switch .but if we had the auto start think what a great way of saving fuel. there is a bit of kit on the market, the guy i am doing the work for is adament.?
he a bit of a tight wad as most millionares are.the genny set has the capacity to start via the net [modem] check all the engine and output stuff. but i want local kick in auto when a load is applied to the installation .its got to be possable me thinks .the set has a main mcb with a sort of pilot switch so most of the gear is built in .just need a sendsor on the existing installation to say a service has been activated.

A good find!

Now your client will need to balance the £600 plus installation costs against the potential savings!
