Approved. Thanks for the contribution.

Great to see this is still supported - I decided to purchase one last week. Looking forward to playing with it at some stage in the near future..

Great, but it does not work well for me. When I switch a relay it clicks but the log is filled with:

I am running Indigo 7.2 and the version 0.20 of the plugin. Let me know what I can do to help diagnose the issue.

I deleted all the devices and re-created the relays and they work fine ! I should have thought about it before posting, sorry about that.

But I cannot get the inputs to work, and I have tried everything I could. First I have to create another device (with the same IP address) as it is not possible to have more than 8 items in one device. I do that and it goes well, but when I go to 'edit device setting' of one of the input to link it to a 'sensor input channel I get an 'error validating fields. Hover over the red box etc..' and this message in the log:

Code: Select all

Hey Pat! Thanks for trying this out!

The first error you got was "expected" - you don't have to remove the device, you just have to edit and click save on each sub device after upgrading. The plugin adds two new fields to control logging, and until you click save the fields don't exist and Indigo throws errors. Seems like you made it past that problem. Sweet! EDIT: I fixed this problem in a subsequent release.

The second error is a bug. I failed to add one of the "unneeded" fields to the Sensor inputs. I'm publishing a fix shortly.

As for the problem with only being able to add 8 devices, and the need to duplicate the main device (with the same IP)... I played with this setup a long time when I first made this plugin. While you can have more than 8 sub devices, the UI gets messy. The only reason I'm able to pack 8 into one device now is simply because the words "Relay" and "Sensor" are short enough to fit on 8 buttons in the Indigo UI. if the words were longer, we'd have fewer devices. I figured anyone doing this can just create two devices, as you have; one for relays and one for sensors. It's not ideal, but it seems to work out okay.

Again, I don't currently use the input sensors myself, and I apologize I didn't test them before releasing this last version. If you have other needs for these sensors, please let me know!

It works for me,



Have 7 outputs and 4 inputs

Don’t use 12v dc only use 5v dc

Just for fun, you can see some photos of my setup here: https://imgur.com/a/UdJzcTp?

That's awesome. I look at that and think, how do you get the wires to the devices?? Is this just that you don't (mainly) have brick walls in the US and so running new cables is easy?
There no way I'd be able to get a wire from my server rack to my hot water tank without a lot of mess.

That's great! It's cool that you can get so much done with just one physical device.

I have a two-relay version that I'm still looking to toy with.

I've become a professional at sheetrock repair. Not sure how else to put it. You gotta cut some holes to run wires, especially in a two story house. And yeah, most houses in the US are wood and sheetrock. There are plenty made of brick though, but you wont see me buying one because I can't run wires through bricks.

Haha. Yeah a few of my walls are plasterboard but mainly brick. I'm considering a few places drilling through outside wall, running cable in conduit and drilling it back in, rather than work out how to run internally!!

Those pics are great!

I have been trying the latest version 0.2.4 of the plugin other a few days, and happy to report it works perfectly for me too. Thank you for this plugin, it will help eliminate a few X10 relays !

I'm not good with electrics but could the inputs be used to detect current from a PIR, one that is already powered by the alarm panel?

It would be possible with some sort of circuitry to adapt the current driven PIR to the tension driven input of the board. But, and it is a big but, the inputs on the board are polled by the Indigo plugin every X seconds, where X is 2,5,15,30 or 60 seconds. If you use a short period you might overload the network and or board and if it is too long you might miss some of the PIR action.

What you need is an interface which will push the PIR changes to Indigo, and this is more difficult to find.
