Overview

The SainSmart iMatic V2 provides 8 x 250V/AC 10A Relays channels that is controlled over ethernet TCP/IP.  This unit is extremely affordable, is powered via a local 12vdc supply and is also din mountable.  Other solutions cost anywhere from 3 times to 10 times more.  This is by far the cheapest way to integrate relays into ELAN.

Can i use more than one unit on the network?

Unfortunately not.  Sainsmart have advised that only one unit can run on a single network at any time.

Can you give us some examples of how we could use this driver?

• Connect lighting, sprinklers, garage doors/gates, motorised blinds/shades/windows/screens, door locks and other relay controlled devices to the system.

Why can't i trigger all the relays at once?

Due to limitations in the device we can only send 1 command at a time per request. Each request is sent immediately after we receive a reply. As such you may notice a popcorn effect (for aproximately 500 milliseconds from our tests) especially in devices such as blinds and lights.

Do you offer showroom discounts?
We offer dealers a free showroom licence for demonstration and educational purposes.  See link below for T&C's and signup procedure.
