Multi Functional Relay
Multi Functional Relay
A smart relay would come in really hand.
With a multi-functional relay, users can open or close railway curtain, electric window, garage door and garden irrigation devices
Similar product: Orvibo Multi-Functional Relay - I've been using it for years, but TAPO seems more integrated and looking forward to move everything, but this is necessary for me to do so.
What are your thoughts?

Yes please. Smart relay is practical to have contact without voltage. Now I use the P100 as a smart relays. It is useful for water irrigation, while you need to use swith on for sever minutes. Applications like a garage door opener is unuseful like a P100, there is not a relay with plug on the market.

Yes this would be a great idea, dry relay contacts and also dry input contacts as well so you can get feedback on certain conditions and/or use that to control other things.
I use a product from ControlbyWeb for this now, were they have all sorts of input and output modules which I use for alarms, garage door, etc.

@Charliepsycho because not everybody likes the switch. Just adding the relay allows for users to retain their original switches, and allow for more choice of switch selection.

@Kaizoku But if what is wanted is an out-of-sight relay then who cares what it looks like? The s210 is just a wifi controlled relay with a fancy shroud on the front.
I use the s210 as as a relay all the time, to control water valves, pumps, air blowers, 12v lights, anything. Its just a battery powered relay with WiFi, it doesn't care what it switches.

Hey @Charliepsycho , indeed sounds like a possible workaround solution, never the less I personally would still rather have a simple eletrical relay.
A couple of reasons from my side:
- Quite a few other brands already offer this, not sure why such a nice solution as TAPO wouldn't
- Why use the s210 with 8.71 x 8.6 x 4.1 cm; 190 g when there could be a way smaller device with 8.8 x 3.9 x 2.4 cm; 110 g or less (see example link bellow)
- Why the need for a battery dependant solution when the device is already relaying electricity? (see example link bellow)
