Using the DT-R008 webrelay in a Akuvox Linux monitor AK-S562

In order to add the web relay unit (DT-R008) in the Akuvox monitor, the web relay needs to be setup in the IP range or WiFi network. We recommend using the Ethernet connection. 

The DT-R008 web relay comes with a default IP address 192.168.1.100 and the username and password is admin. For the WiFi 192.168.7.1 on the SSID dtrelaySN and password dtpassword. 

We can recommend using the mobile to connect to the web relay WiFi first, and set the Ethernet on DHCP to give the device a fix IP address. 

Set up a password for the web URL

Use the web relays IP address to enter the config page.

1. Select in the menu Relay Connect

2. Set the 4 digits password

3. And click on save

In general, the device is ready to add in the Akuvox monitor using the Smart living. 

The following samples can be easily implemented:

Example 1(relay on):
HTTP GET request(request relay board HTTP CGI API, set relay 0 on ,time 0,password 0)
http://192.168.1.100/relay_cgi.cgi?type=0&relay=0&on=1&time=0&pwd=0&
HTTP GET respond
&0&0&0&1&0& # ok, type 0 on/off,relay 0 on,time 0

Example 2(relay off):
HTTP GET request(request relay board HTTP CGI API, set relay 0 off ,time 0,password 0)
http://192.168.1.100/relay_cgi.cgi?type=0&relay=0&on=0&time=0&pwd=0&
HTTP GET respond
&0&0&0&0&0& # ok, type 0 on/off,relay 0 off,time 0

Example 3(relay 1 jogging on):
HTTP GET request(request relay board HTTP CGI API, set relay 1 jogging on ,time 500ms,password
4660)
http://192.168.1.100/relay_cgi.cgi?type=1&relay=1&on=1&time=5&pwd=4660&
HTTP GET respond
&0&1&1&1&5& # ok, type 1 jogging,relay 1 on,time 5(500ms)

Example 4(relay 1 jogging off):
HTTP GET request(request relay board HTTP CGI API, set relay 1 jogging off,time 500ms,password
4660)
http://192.168.1.100/relay_cgi.cgi?type=1&relay=1&on=0&time=5&pwd=4660&
HTTP GET respond
&0&1&1&0&5& # ok, type 1 jogging,relay 1 off,time 5(500ms)

Example 5(relay 1 on delay 10 second off):
HTTP GET request(request relay board HTTP CGI API, set relay 1 on delay 10 second off ,time 5
second,password 4660)
http://192.168.1.100/relay_cgi.cgi?type=2&relay=1&on=1&time=10&pwd=4660&
HTTP GET respond
&0&2&1&1&10& # ok, type 2 delay,relay 1 on,time 10 second

Example 6(relay 1 off delay 10 second on):
HTTP GET request(request relay board HTTP CGI API, set relay 1 off delay 10 second on ,time 5
second,password 4660)
http://192.168.1.100/relay_cgi.cgi?type=2&relay=1&on=0&time=10&pwd=4660&
HTTP GET respond
&0&2&1&0&10& # ok, type 2 delay,relay 1 off,time 10 second

Implementing the URL in the Akuvox monitor

Use the monitor's IP address to enter the config page.

1. Open the Device menu

2. Then the Smart Living option

3. Enable the button

4. Select the icon

5. Give the label a name

6. Then enter the URL 

7. Click on submit to save

For this demo we used the option to open the relay for 1 second. 

11.11.11.124/relay_cgi.cgi?type=2&relay=0&on=1&time=1&pwd=8520&

The IP address 11.11.11.124 is the one from the web relay. 

type 2 = relay delay

the time = 1 second

the password = 8520

Make the Smart Live visible on the home screen

1. Go to display settings

2. Select the Area of choice, the on Smart Living, and give the label a name

3. And click on submit to save

How does it look it on the monitor

On the home screen, go to the Smart Living area. 

Select the available web relay actions
