Will socket (tcp) request in rule creator work with this relay card?
Need Answer
Hi
I'd like to use this relay card instead of my ipx800.

With ipx800, I am using http request to control relays (on/off).
With the other card, I can only use socket requests.
Here is the way it needs to be set up (their support sent me this tip):
- You would need to enter the same information found on the Board Configuration page of the board once you plug it into your network. By default it uses DHCP, which means the IP address may change. You might instead want to assign it a static IP. You can then use the same IP and port number (17494 by default) in your program.The source port isn't important, so depending on how your programming system works it can either be left blank, or you can use another number like 20,000, and the retries might be set to something like 3 or 5.The body of the message would be a binary blob. If you want to set relay one to on, you would want to send 0x20, 0x01, 0x00 (hex) as binary. To turn off that relay, you would instead send 0x21, 0x01, 0x00. You would have to check the documentation of your programming system to see how you can send the binary message.
Can you confirm me it will work with socket request used in the zipato rule creator?
