Configuration

Outputs

Configure, test, and optionally control the relay and three digital outputs through MQTT.

On this page

The gateway has one relay and three digital outputs, DO 1-3. The Outputs list shows Open or Closed for the relay and On or Off for each digital output.

Configure the relay

  1. Open and enable the relay

    Open Sensors > Outputs, select Relay, turn on Enable relay, and enter a Name, such as Pump.

  2. Choose the restart state

    Set State after restart to Open or Closed.

  3. Configure optional MQTT control

    Turn on Allow MQTT remote control and enter a control topic such as relay/set.

  4. Save and test

    Select Save settings. When it is safe to operate the equipment, select Close relay, then Open relay.

  5. Verify the result

    Confirm the relay name and state on Overview.

Relay configuration with restart behavior, MQTT control, and the local Open or Close action.

Configure a digital output

  1. Open and enable the output

    Select DO 1, DO 2, or DO 3, turn on Enable channel, and enter a Name, such as Valve.

  2. Choose the restart state

    Set State after restart to Off or On.

  3. Match the wiring polarity

    Set Output wiring to Normal, or choose Inverted for active-low wiring.

  4. Save and test

    Select Save settings. When the equipment is safe to operate, select Switch on, then Switch off.

Configure shared MQTT control

One shared setting enables MQTT commands for DO 1-3.

  1. Open shared MQTT control

    On Outputs, select Shared MQTT control.

  2. Enable remote commands

    Turn on Allow MQTT remote control and enter a control topic such as do/set.

  3. Save the topic

    Select Save MQTT settings. The Unsaved indicator disappears when the setting is stored.

One shared MQTT control topic receives remote commands for DO 1-3.

Output names and control topics

  • Relay and digital-output names are required and must be fewer than 32 UTF-8 bytes.
  • A control topic is required even when remote control is currently disabled.
  • Topics may contain at most 128 UTF-8 bytes and cannot contain spaces, control characters, a leading or trailing slash, or an empty level such as //.
  • The firmware matches actuator commands to an exact topic, so + and # wildcards are not accepted.
  • Local output controls are disabled while the section has unsaved changes. Each live switching action opens a confirmation dialog and changes the connected equipment immediately after confirmation.
