Introduction

These settings allow authorised users to activate/deactivate relays from the User Interface. For example, they could allow door access or the ability to turn lights on or off.

They must be used in conjunction with a supported relay device such as the Adam-6060. Please refer to: ADAM-6060 Relay Plugin for more information.
