RANet Ready Relay Box

[rimai]

Hey Guys,

Here is a video of the RANet module controlling a RANet ready relay box.

This relay box will be the first of the wireless expansion modules that will be available shortly.

That's awesome!

[89delta]

Oh wow....am so loving the creativity from you guys.

[Sacohen]

Very Cool.

When you asked for suggestions in the other thread I was thinking of a wireless Relay or Power control module.

[Smotz]

Very Nice. How far will the wireless reach? standard stuff? Kicking myself for wiring an extension plug to the pump in the basement.

[lnevo]

That is awesome. How is the fallbacks set on the ports? Is it through software or jumpers?

[howaboutme]

Love it! Aesthetically it is very nice as well. Wireless reach info is important too and would love to know if putting a relay in my basement is okay.

One thing about zigbee is that devices are also repeaters if I'm not mistaken. Would we be able to talk to standard zigbee devices at all? And would other zigbee devices in the house help (if I'm correct on zigbee retransmission?) the RANet signals? If so then we'd definitely be able to extend to other areas as far as range. Hell, next device request - RANet repeater

That is awesome. How is the fallbacks set on the ports? Is it through software or jumpers?

As simple as this:

Code: Select all

  ReefAngel.Relay.RANetFallBackE[0]=Port7Bit;

This line will turn port 7 on and all other ports off.

The manufacturer advertises 300ft, but that is usually open field range.

I have the return pump on port 5 and skimmer on port 1 on the wireless relay box. Recently the relay box has been losing connectivity from the RA controller on and off and this effectively stops the return pump and skimmer. Is there a way to have the 2 ports to be on even when the relay box loses connectivity from the RA controller?

Code: Select all

  ReefAngel.Relay.RANetFallBackE[0]=Port1Bit | Port5Bit;

[davaraj]

Code: Select all

  ReefAngel.Relay.RANetFallBackE[0]=Port1Bit | Port5Bit;

Thanks Lee. I'll add that into my code.

[Smotz]

are these available?

[rimai]

I think I still have one left

[Smotz]

I think I still have one left

Oi..Gonna hold out until they're officially released.

how do I get this to work? It's just flashing a white light at me...

Hey Guys,

Here is a video of the RANet module controlling a RANet ready relay box.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMBARknej_Y[/youtube]
This relay box will be the first of the wireless expansion modules that will be available shortly.

Roberto, what is the availability of the wireless relay box?

[rimai]

I have a couple.
PM for details.
