Relay controller
RELO IO8
Eight relay outputs, eight digital inputs, and a runtime that executes on the device. Build the logic once, deploy it, walk away.
A cloud-managed network relay box for AV: an Ethernet relay module with 8 relay outputs and 8 inputs, powered over PoE+ or USB-C.

Introduction
Seventy seconds on what it does.
Connectivity
Six network protocols, no translators.
From a single trigger to a chain of conditions, the RELO IO8 speaks what the rest of the room already speaks. Nothing to convert, nothing to sit in between.
TCP
Bi-directional control over the network. Send commands and read state back from any device on the LAN or across a WAN.
UDP
Fire and forget messaging for real-time triggers, where latency matters more than delivery confirmation.
HTTP
A REST API for web services, control systems and custom apps. GET, POST and PUT, with variable injection.
OSC
Open Sound Control, straight to lighting desks, DAWs and control surfaces over the same network.
Art-Net
DMX over Ethernet. Trigger relay outputs from a lighting console or a media server without a gateway.
RTP MIDI
MIDI over the network. Notes and control changes to and from DAWs, consoles and controllers, with no hardware interface in the path.
GPIO
Eight opto-isolated digital inputs. Buttons, sensors and dry contacts start any flow in real time.

Power
Two inputs. Always on.
USB-C 5V is the primary supply, and the PSU with EU, UK and USA heads is in the box. Add a PoE+ switch and both inputs run at once, so the unit stays up if either one drops. No extra wiring for redundancy.

Cueva Desktop
Draw the logic. Deploy it.
Connect triggers to actions on a canvas, on Mac or Windows. Push the flow to the controller and it runs there, with or without the app open and with or without a network.

Flow editor
Fifty nodes, five kinds.
Triggers start a flow, conditions shape it, execution paces it and actions make it happen. Queries read the device back into the logic.

Getting started
First power-on in under three minutes.
Five walkthroughs, from that first boot to expanding the device over the network. The whole set runs under twenty minutes.
Mounting
Three across a single rack unit.
The RELO IO8 is a third of a rack unit wide. Three sit side by side in 1U on the RM99, so twenty four relays cost you one rack space, or a single unit goes on a wall on the WM33.
Cueva Horizon
Every venue in one browser tab.
Twelve months of Horizon comes with every RELO IO8. Live status per location, remote access without a VPN, and firmware pushed over the air across the whole fleet. Check a site without driving to it.
- Live device and relay state, per site
- Firmware and flows pushed over the air
- Online and offline alerting
- One dashboard across every location

Use cases
Where these end up.
Corporate
Meeting rooms
One press drops the screen, powers the projector, dims the lights and closes the blinds. No remote juggling, no user error.
See the flowEvents
Live venues
GPIO from the show desk fires relay cues, Art-Net to the lighting console and an HTTP call to the sound system, all in one flow.
See the flowMuseums
Exhibitions
A proximity sensor starts the media, the light scene shifts, and staff reset any exhibit remotely without walking the floor.
See the flowEducation
Lecture halls
A wall button starts class: projector on, screen down, lights dimmed, mic open. Everything powers down again on schedule.
See the flowWorship
Houses of worship
Service cues fire from the booth. Stage lighting, stream, console scene and projection all change together, every week.
See the flowRetail
Stores and showrooms
Window lighting, display screens and background music follow opening hours, with a staff override for deliveries and late events.
