Relay box when signal received from the PC over the HDMI input. Relay box
is controlled by the GPIO port.
Settings
Step 1. Create an event in Event manager: when signal is present on Input 5 (I5) then set GPIO pins to low
level for Relay box opening.
Step 2. Also create another event when signal is not present on Input 5 (I5) then set GPIO pins to high level
for Relay box closing.
send signal to Relay box to open which results pulling back the curtains.
close which results drawing the curtains
ATTENTION! Please always check the electrical parameters of the devices what you want to control. The
maximum current of one GPIO pin is 30 mA, the maximum total current for the seven pins is 180 mA.
