Configure outputs

The boneIO Black Cover Mix controller has:

• 16 cover outputs (8 covers, each with 2 relays: up/down)
• 16 regular relays rated at 10A (OUT_17 to OUT_32)

Cover outputs (cover_01 to cover_08)

You don't need to change cover output names - they are automatically configured as:

• cover_01_up / cover_01_down
• cover_02_up / cover_02_down
• ... to cover_08_up / cover_08_down

These outputs are used internally by the cover configuration and do not require editing, unless you have specific needs.

Regular relays (OUT_17 to OUT_32)

For regular relays you can configure outputs the same way as in 32x10A or 24x16A controllers.

How to add or edit a regular output?

1. Go to Settings → Outputs
2. Click Add New or the edit icon next to an existing output
3. Fill in the configuration form
