[RE-wrenches] 200a manual xfer switch w/ small aux contact : who makes it?

[Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar]

You saw the back-up control switch from Schneider? Probably not what you 
want. https://solar.se.com/us/en/product/backup-control-switch/
Might be good for something else?

Whole home or partial home backup made easy. When paired with Schneider 
Electric
XW Pro inverters, the Backup Control Switch (BCS) automatically 
disconnects from the
grid during an outage, allowing the system to provide backup power to 
the home.
Certified to UL standards for USA, The Backup Control Switch is used for 
larger XW Pro
systems requiring up to 200 A rated MID or service entrance 
installation.
Flexible Installation
* Whole home backup or subpanel backup with up to 200
A rating
* Service entrance rated when installed with a main breaker
* Top or bottom entry for grid input
* Optional non-backup circuit, making it easy to backup an
existing panel and remove select non-critical loads
* Configurable for export limiting with integrated meter
Reliable
* Fast 50 ms transfer from grid connected to backup power
operation
* Reliable backup power and load starting performance
with the compatible XW Pro inverters
* Connect up to 4 XW Pro inverters for up to 27 kW
continuous and 48 kW peak backup power capability
* Outdoor rated enclosure
* 10 year limited warranty
