Ken, thanks, I've bookmarked that device.

Can you suggest a way to use it (or a different device) to also charge
from shore power?

Right now, I have a ProSport 8 and the GoWesty aux battery kit.  So I
have smart charging only on shore power.  I'm thinking of adding solar
and a DC-to-DC charger so my deep cycle lead acid house battery might
have a longer life.

But I'd sure like to do it with as few devices as possible.
