Does anybody use USR-IO88 controllers and do you have any hint on how to write sofftware for them. I use one and I control it using the webpage associated with it but I would like to send/receive data to/from it with my own little application.

Thanks in advance for all help you can give me.

I hope you get this reply...
I purchased this board back in 2017 and wanted to do the same thing. I program in C# and Android / Java and wanted to control this board with my code. It took me FOREVER to hack and figure out how to do it but I finally got things to work

You must pass the admin password plus a CR LF to the board before it accepts any commends from custom code
Example: You must send this via TCP/IP sockets connection is in JAVA for the Android App I have created
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
char CR = (char) 0x0D;
char LF = (char) 0x0A;
String s = "admin" + CR + LF;
mTcpClient.sendMessage(s.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This will allow the board to start receiving commands (Byte array HEX) and will not work until this is sent.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To turn on all relay's send this command
byte[] a = {(byte) 0x55, (byte) 0xAA, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x03, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x05, (byte) 0x01, (byte) 0x06};
mTcpClient.sendMessage(a);

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

byte[] a = {(byte) 0x55, (byte) 0xAA, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x03, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x04, (byte) 0x01, (byte) 0x06};
mTcpClient.sendMessage(a);


I have code to turn on / off individual relays
if you get this message after so long I would be glad to send C# examples or the Java Examples.
Have a great one

Hello Skip,

I just found your thread. I am trying to use this board to do some automation in my house. I would appreciate it if you could please post some examples.

I am using python (integrating with Home Assistant) but it should be pretty strait forward. The hard part is what you have already done.

Thanks,
Sam.

Hi Wintoon, I found an Home Assistant integration for the USR r16 Ethernet switch board.
It works as well for my USR io88. Just use 1-8 entities and ignore 9-16 (I would like to remove entities for rele' 9-16 and add support for reading io88 input)
