Power Control Expansion

Post by ucez »

OK, I can't figure out how to get this installed. I've got an expansion hub with a second relay box and salinity expansion. I've set the power control expansion to a unique ID and connected to the expansion hub. There is power to the power control expansion.

The power control expansion does not show up as a new box on the head unit, but does show up on the portal. However, it does not respond to the portal. It is always off.

Any ideas.

Correction. It does not show up on the portal, forgot that I unplugged the wireless.

When I first installed the power control expansion, it did show up, but was always ON. I thought maybe it was the ID, so I changed, but now stays OFF even when I go back to the original ID.

Did you set the power control as id 2?
Your expansion relay box is 1 and the power control should be 2.
Just to confirm, run the i2cscanner code. I'm on my cell, but if you search, you will find.

Set PCE to ID 2. It doesn't seem to be recognizing it at all - nothing on the head unit menu.

Here is I2CScanner.

You will need to try a different combination to find out.
It looks correct.

Not sure I follow. Should I keep trying switch combinations until it registers as Box2? Which number is Box2?

When I load this code, I get the 3 relay screens on the head unit.
One thing I noticed is the DDNS line. Remove that. The server is not working with that feature anymore and that may be why the portal is not accepting your requests.

here's an alternate way to do the dynamic dns for your controller.

The dynamic DNS allows you to control via the universal app? However, the data on the universal app is still correct?

Yes it should be.
