Here's the before pic.

This is going to be the after Hack pic..

Terminal Plate Connector (5) is the switched side of the 230 supply.
The SSR connects (5) to (1), which feeds the indoor unit and the main PCB ACIN1.
The Transistor block will be the same as used above.
The DC power supply puts out 12VDC with AC inputs from 100 to 240 50/60hz.
Current sensor will be pre-set to drop power at 9.5 Amps.. (~2.3 kW).

This might void the warranty, so I am considering installing it outside the unit. (As above).

One added benefit of using an SSR is no contact spark.
Safer if there's any Propane leaking in the area. (BBQ tank on the back deck).
