PC USB Four(4) Relay Board with temperature sensor TCN75A for Home Automation

This is USB Four channel SPDT relay board with connected TCN75A temperature sensor. The relays can handle up to 15A and the sensor can measure temperature from -40 C up to +100 C with accuracy +-0.5 C (typical) and +- 3 C (max). The software we provide makes this relay card ideal for applications like temperature monitoring (USB thermometer), temperature loging with computer or simple usb thermoregulator.

Application Examples


  • Home automation
  • Robotics
  • Alarms
  • Temperature monitoring (USB thermometer)
  • Temperature loging with computer
  • Simple usb thermoregulator (control relays depending on the sensor temperature value)

Caution


Please note the attached TCN75A sensor is not designed as a probe but it is only pcb with IDC connector (as it is shown on the picture). It is not encapsulated and it is strongly recommend to use it in dry environment. Do not use it for temperature measurements inside water or other liquids otherwise it may be short-cut and cause permanent damage of the relay board.
The sensor flat cable is connected directly to the USB 4 Relay board idc connector in the factory and it can not be removed.
THE DEVICE CAN NOT WORK WITHOUT COMPUTER!

DRM Software


Denkovi Relay Manager (DRM) is multiplatform software for easy controlling all kinds of Denkovi relay boards (USB,SNMP,TCP/IP)

CAUTION! Using of Denkovi Relay Manager (DRM) Software with devices which are not manufactured by Denkovi Assembly Electronics LTD is not allowed!

The item is supported by DRM Software. You can control only the relays however (the sensor is not supported). DRM Software will hep you to save money for expensive software and time in programming. It allows you to switch ON/OFF your devices at particular date and time, turn ON/OFF the relays with pulses or control them via specific sequence. If you have ordered at least one of our relay boards from this list you may turn your PC in powerful automation tool.

USB Relay controller and DRM software

  • Multiplatform software: supported by Windows/Linux (ver. 2.0)
  • Control up to 32 relay boards
  • User-friendly intuitive interface
  • Save/Load file
  • Control mode: single and multiple setting of the relays
  • Single pulse with adjustable delay from the control mode (ver. 2.0)
  • Timer mode: create timer playlist for the relays
  • Weekly mode: each relay may be turned ON/OFF on each day of the week
  • Calendar mode: each relay may be turned ON/OFF on particular date at particular time
  • Pulse mode: each relay may work in pulse mode by setting duration for ON and duration for OFF. Adjustable number of pulses (ver. 2.0)
  • Each relay from each relay board can work independently in some of the five modes
  • Each relay board and each relay can be named by the user
  • Indicator panel
  • Auto load function - the last working file is loaded when DRM is started
  • Auto connect function - when the relay board is disconnected DRM will keep trying to find and when this is done, the relay board will be connected again
  • Auto start function - DRM software starts when the OS starts (currently this is not available for Windows 8 and Linux)
  • Auto set function - DRM will set the relays automatically when the relay board is connected
  • Possibility of DRM to starts when PC boots and continues to work from the last saved point

Denkovi Relay Command Line Tool


The main goal of this project is to help you to use our USB relay boards easily and without any specific knowledge how do they work. This tool is actually shell for all our USB relay boards and it does not matter which is the relay board, the command is the same. Just type one command and the the tool will set, get relay status or even will take temperature value from the board sensor (if any). It can be integrated in other software and you don't need to know much about how the USB relay board protocol. With this tool it is like a "game" and it takes literaly minutes to create for example PHP script and control the USB relay board from smartphone browser.

Typical applications for this software are:

  • Create desktop icons to turn particular relays
  • Create BAT/BASH files to make more complex logic (like timers for example)
  • The commands can be executed from PHP script
  • Control our USB relay boards from Android / iPhone mobile devices
  • The USB relays can be controlled from each software/platform which can run external executable files or commands in command line promt

Example commands:

LIST COMMAND - lists all devices connected to computer.

java -jar DenkoviRelayCommandLineTool.jar list

STATUS COMMAND - display relay(s) status(es).

java -jar DenkoviRelayCommandLineTool.jar DAE0006K 4 2 status

java -jar DenkoviRelayCommandLineTool.jar DAE0006K 4 all status

SET COMMAND - set relay(s) state(s).

java -jar DenkoviRelayCommandLineTool.jar DAE0006K 4 2 1

java -jar DenkoviRelayCommandLineTool.jar DAE0006K 4 all 0

java -jar DenkoviRelayCommandLineTool.jar DAE0006K 4 turn 1110

TEMPERATURE COMMAND - get the temperature value

java -jar DenkoviRelayCommandLineTool.jar DAE0006K 4 temp C

java -jar DenkoviRelayCommandLineTool.jar DAE0007l 4 temp F
