Indigo 8 Channel Network Relay Board Plugin

This plugin allows you to control the relays on the 8 channel network relay boards being sold on eBay. This plugin also exposes the 8 on-board input sensors. You may find this plugin on the Indigo Plugin Store.

This repo includes two technical documents:

• Ethnernet IO Controller V5 Instructions.pdf (misspelled on purpose?)
• ZM_TCP Protocol 1.0.pdf

Both documents came from the retailer. Here's a link to the original auction (no longer active):

• eBay: 8 Channel Relay Network IP Relay Web Relay Dual Control Ethernet RJ45 US SHIP

Will this work for you?

I have no idea. It works for me. Does your device listen on port 1234? If yes, it'll probably work. Drop into a Terminal window on your Mac and run telnet 192.168.1.166 1234. Replace 192.168.1.166 with your device's IP. If you see Trying 192.168.1.166... and nothing else, it's not working. If it says connected, type DUMP and hit enter. If you see data, you should be good to go!

There are a few more features, but that should get you going. Please report any issues on GitHub.
