why use smart relay? relay based solutions form the basis of many applications, and smart relay provides an intelligent drop in when a single relay is required, but to perform its role smartly by smartly, this means that the relay switches based on a mode setting and reacts to input criteria rather than just a static on when the coil is energized and off when deenergized operational options the scalae smart relay can be configured for one of two modes of operation stand alone operation no external communications, only responds to board inputs rf operation wireless operation enables the smart relay to respond to a command sent by a remote control unit, and based on that command, the relay will actuate default operation vs wireless the default operation excludes wireless communication and only responds to the inputs on the pcb the wireless operation, requires a control or command issueing module to inform or control the smart relay this is done using manchester encoding and rf modules learn more here about rf link docid\ clh75sejaxkye 0ummfgn operational modes smart relay's operational mode is configured by setting a bank of dip switches in the correct order there are technically 16 options, with the 16th option, which is 2^3 or 1111 in binary to configure smart relay to run in wireless mode bespoke programming the smart relay hosts a pic16f1847, and the icsp programming interface is tracked to a header enabling the device to be reprogrammed the smart relay can therefore be reprogrammed with custom or bespoke code to cater to the specific applications for more details, see the following topic programming the device docid\ cwfrveyggcdu25v63spki sample code sample code is available on request, however, this is not the complete code supplied with the device when purchased, it is sample code that can be used to develop your application the code supplied on the device is code protected, and is not made available to clients as this is proprietary the user can reprogram the device using their code, but once this is done, the original code is lost and any warranty on the module is void
