Relay ControllerVersion 1.0.6 - Released October 17, 2022
Relay Controller is an app that allows you to control a USB HID relay board (x1, x2, x4 and x8 switches) that is connected to a USB port on your Windows PC, laptop or tablet. Click here for a typical supplier of compatible USB HID relay boards. This will then allow you to switch the power to connected equipment (e.g. lights, fans, motors, etc) on and off over a timed schedule. IMPORTANT: The Relay Controller app only supports USB HID compliant relay boards. When plugged in, these boards are automatically recognized by Windows as a USB device and they do not require any drivers to be installed. |
The app can alter the on/off state of each of the relay switches when the following combinations of conditions (triggers) are met:

You can also:

- assign a keyboard key to each switch to allow you to turn the switches on and off at any time by pressing the keys on the keyboard.

Note that the app will work in Evaluation Mode until you buy a Product Code. In Evaluation Mode the app is fully functional to allow you to test it, but a message box will appear at random times. This will pause the app until you click on the message box to remove it.
