Using STOW function with Starlink Flat HP reduces power draw

My RV uses a Peplink B One 5G and Victron Multiplus with for AC power monitoring with CCGX display. A simple test showed total AC power draw of 270W when using Starlink, and 90W when “stowed”. It appears that stow function is only available through the In Control 2 web portal i/f. FWIW unplugging the Starlink power supply reduced RV AC power draw to 48W.

It would be nice to add the “stow” function to the Peplink main local dashboard, rather than requiring an In Control connection.

I found this out as well and documented it here.

It now support stowing by geotags which works for my use case.
I agree it would be nice to support local in the ui.
They did add the ability to do in the local api, but still not in the local ui.
