Spud makes good plugins, but the Raspberry Pi IO plugin is one of the buggiest plugins he's ever created. He knows about some frustrating bugs, but unfortunately, he won't fix them. So, do you guys know another way to control a relay module with Raspberry Pi? I just need it to be reliable.

Is there a way to control Raspberry Pi other than Spud's IO plugin?

Take a look at Node-Red.
As another option, why do you need a Raspberry Pi just to control a relay? There are many, cheap network relays that support MQTT.

Unless you have the raspberry pi already as mentioned there are other cheaper alternatives than that for basic relay control. Otherwise there are lots of ways to do it, such as http://www.steves-internet-guide.com...berry-pi-gpio/

jumper4000,
Would it be correct to assume that since you are referring to Spud's plugin that you already have the Raspberry Pi?
Is the relay attached to the RPi or is it connected to something else?
Have you looked into controlling the RPi's GPIO pins with JSON?
Be safe,
Roger

I'd have had no issues with the Spud Raspberry pi plugin.... been up for years and stable. That said, I use it strictly for remote input and not control.
I have a Raspberry pi in my generator and I measure temperature. I use MQTT for that.
Is the relay control solid when you use the command line on the RPI?HS3 Pro Edition 3.0.0.435 (Windows Server 8.1 on ESXi box)
