How to create an event to operate the SR-201-relay network controlled relay

[Miamijerry]

How to;

These two channel network 10 amp relays are available for $19.00

WeChat Cloud Remote Control 2-way Ethernet Relay Network Switch Delay TCPUDP Module Controller

or SR-201-Relay

They come set to 192.168.1.100, there is an application to change the static ip address.

I had a need to power cycle a device, either by an event or every 24 hours.

Downloaded sr-201-relay.py and placed as a folder in Homeseer scripts folder

Created a bat file containing; (this can be located anywhere on the computer)
CD "C:\Program Files (x86)\HomeSeer HS3\scripts\sr-201-relay"
"Close_1_for_3 sec.bat"

Close_1_for_3 sec.bat contains; (This has to be in the "sr-201-relay" folder containing the sr-201-relay.py program and it's required files)
sr-201-relay.py 192.168.0.xx close:1:3

Basic commands, where R = relay #
close:R - Close relay R.
close:R:T - Close relay R, then after T seconds open it.
close:R~ - Close relay R, then in about 1/2 a second open it.
open:R

In Homeseer create an event, select manual trigger or at a time.
THEN "Run another program or process"
Select the first bat file.

This is good information. I use an Ethernet relay board with eight relays to activate the ball-valves that control flow to my outside spigots. I took a slightly different approach in that I put the commands directly into the events.

While I do not specifically recommend the very common IP/Relay board peddled on Ebay and other China outlets in the $35'ish range for 8 relays and 8 digital inputs, mcsMQTT plugin does support it directly so it just looks like a device for HS logic.

This is the relay board I use. It's been very reliable.

How do you mount it? Do they sell cases or did you make your own?

I simply mounted mine to a piece of plywood in the utility room. The power supply operates the relays, the sensors and the valves. The power supply and the PC running HS are on a UPS, and the UPS only has to carry the loads for 15 seconds until the generator kicks in, so I feel pretty good about the efficacy of the system.

Thank you for the idea and picture!
