NT Relay Action

This action will command a relay output on an NT-RELAY device for each scheduled event.  The NT-RELAY is a stand-alone IP based device that has two relay outputs and two binary inputs.  The relay outputs can be used to control auxiliary devices (e.g., lighting, pumps, door strike, etc.)

Important:  The NT-RELAY can be scheduled internally using the Command Center Software.  It is recommended to disable scheduling to any NT-RELAY device relays that will be controlled via Events2HVAC.  These schedules will override any commands previously send by Events2HVAC until the next change of state sent by Events2HVAC.

This action applies to the following event triggers

      EventStartStop

      EventSetupTeardown

      ZoneFirstLastEventStartStop

      ZoneFirstLastSetupTeardown

The “Show All States” checkbox will show the NT-Relay states for all of the I/O on the device instead of just the relay state.
