Dig-quad remote

[breese]

I have a Dig-quad with an SSR attached to it.
Locally I can tell the Dig-quad to power on and the SSR activate and allows the lights connected to turn on.

I am looking for a way to control the Dig-quad from my Player / Master Pi 4 (6.2 based).
(Private - non-internet network setup)
Pi-master - 192.168.1.101
Dig-quad - 192.168.1.230

The dig-quad will be installed my a neighbors house and scheduled to turn lights on and off with my display.

It looks like the Dig-Quad has several attachment options.  How are you connecting to it locally?  (USB/Wifi/ethernet)  How far away is your neighbors house?

The SSR relay is on GPIO port 15
It is on the same local network as all my other devices. They can see each other.
I am looking for a way to use the FPP Command Presets or another method to tell the dig-quad to turn on...

Sorry I misread, it is not a distance issue.  They are already connected, you're just looking for a way for your FPP to issue commands to turn it on and off.

I had a similar issue a while back.  I had an IP power strip that I wanted to power on my FM transmitter before the show, and turn it off afterward.  I had to write a bash script to turn it on, and another to turn it off, and then placed the scripts in the lead-in and lead out sections on the playlist.

Assuming you are looking for the commands to do this, or you would have posted them.  I don't own a Dig-Quad and can't help you with the commands, but if you know what the commands are, I might be able to help you with the scripts.

Exactly, the issue is I do not know the commands needed to tell the dig-quad to power on the lights.

How do you tell them to turn on locally?  Do you do this this from a web page, telnet/ssh, software application?

From and Quad's built in web page....

My IP power strip was similar.  I just figured out the URL needed to turn them on and created a bash script to do the same.  Not saying it will work.  I tried to look on-line, but there is not much for manuals on them. 

fm-on.sh
----------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
# A simple Bash script
wget -O - 'http://admin:admin@10.12.25.5/cmd.cgi?$A3%201%201';
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Sometimes, if you right mouse click on the weblink/icon to turn on/off and click "Inspect", it will show you the command needed to complete the task.  If the device requires a username and password (below example is username admin password admin) enter them in front of the IP address.  Place the command found in the inspect behind the IP address.  If you can figure out how to turn it on and off from the web browser using a single url shortcut,  creating the script would be pretty easy from there.

So far I have not found a way to turn on this GPIO port on the Dig-quad.
Anyone have an idea or done it?

[JonD]

Hopefully someone responds.  If you come up empty, I would reach out to dig-quad support and see if you can get the directions to turn this on and off with a script.  They may not help you with your exact situation, but often they may have generic information on how to do this.  I wish you luck.

Thanks
I have been all over Discord and I sent a support message to DrZZZ

Found the answer and there are 2 methods of doing this.

First you need the WLED Project API information.
WLED API

Now you can setup 2 Command Presets (1 for off and 1 for on)

The difference being the change at the end of the URL (Zero for Off and One for On).

Or you can create 2 Playlists (just like above) using the Type: FPP Command, and Command URL

Now that I have the API's for the WLED equipment, things will be much easier....

So I have 3 Dig-quad controllers I need to control.
I have the first one up and working.
Is there a way I can modify this command preset to turn on all 3 at one time?

I suspect that you will just have to repeat that command sequentially for each of the units.
