Momentary on for relay

[bitboy53]

I am sorry I am such a newby but I need help getting my EZI040 4-relay turn on then off in 1 sec. Is there a mode I can put the device in or do I need to program the 99i control to do it?

 

Thank you!

The ISY does not have function to set the EZIOxx options such as the output timer values.

 

There is a free Utility download from Simplehomenet which can set those options. It requires a PLM for powerline communication.

 

Or as you suggested, turn On the Output, Wait 1 second, turn Off the Output.

Can you be more specific on the utility? The list is shown below. Which one is it?

Thank you!

John

Sorry, I could have been more specific. The Simplehomenet Utility Suite.

[bitboy53]

First off...thanks again for helping a newby get started

Here is what I did so far:

 

#1 Downloaded the simplehomenet utility

#2 Connected ther PLM to my serial port

#3 Ran the Utility and connected with the PLM

#4 Clicked on the EZIOx tab

#5 entered the ID# for my EXIO4 module and connected to it

#6 Told it to enable the timers in sec

#7 Wrote to the EXIO4 module

#8 exited the utlity and connected my PLM back up to the 99i and opened the admin console

 

Nothing has changed!

 

I was expecting to see some timer controls for the EXIO4 module but nothing was there to change the output timer other than on/off

 

What am I missing

[LeeG]

That is a really great job. The only thing missing is setting the actual timer values. In addition to setting the Configuration Register to Set Timers In Seconds the Output Timers have to be set using the SHN Utility Suite as well. There will be no change in anything the ISY displays. The ISY has no function for setting (or displaying) the Output Timer values.

[bitboy53]

It worked! Thank you Thank you

[LeeG]

You are very welcome. A pleasure working with you.

 

Note that if it is ever necessary to do a Restore Device with the ISY the Configuration Register will have to be set again with the SHN Utility as the ISY will not preserve the Set Timers to Seconds setting.

 

Also the EZIOxx Outputs work like the I/O Linc Relay. When an Output is turned Off with the Timers the EZIOxx does not report that change back to the ISY. The Output will show On even though the Output was turned Off with the Timer.
