Power Control
In this mode, each of the two inputs is
independently set. Select the target outlet,
Main, Exp1 or Exp2 and the action desired with
the input is Closed. The choices for action are:
On
Turn the power On
Off
Turn the power Off
Cycle
Change the power for the Cycle
Time setting
Toggle Change the state of the power.
From Off to On or On to Off,
depending on current state.
Hide from Status and Control: Independantly
hide the status of Exp1 and Exp2 from the Main
Status and Contol webpage. Checking the box
to hide the status is available as an option should you not be using the expansion capabilities of the iBoot-G2+
device. Since the Power Control mode only uses the inputs of the Exp connectors, the iBoot-EXP expansion
outlets could still be connected and controled. Hiding the status does not prevent the function of inputs or
outputs should connections be attached or programmed.
The power is controlled when the input is connected to ground. This makes momentary switches preferred for
power control. Leaving a connection closed when using Cycle or Toggle controls will not affect the function of
the outlet or harm the device, but it will require you to open the switch and re-close for the next power control
event. When programmed to use On or Off controls, holding the input to ground will lock the power in the
selected position allowing for manual override of all other control options. So a non-momentary switch may be
desirable if locking the outlet status is what is required. When on outlet is Locked by the input, the status and
control will display a lock icon next to the outlet.
By using both inputs, one set for On and the other for Off, you can use a three position switch to create
a wired Remote On - Off switch. Allowing local control as well as the remote network control methods.
