relay 2 or 4 or 8 channel ?!

[Reza]

hi
I want build a relay 2 or 4 or 8 channel , but I dont know What is the program?

have any body the program of relay 2 and 4 and 8 channel ?

also , for a relay 8 channel with arduino , there are 6 pins ( 2,9,10,11,12,13) in arduino for radio nrf24l01 and there are 6 digital pins for relay !!! what am I do ?

please help me and give me a correct program for 2,4,8 relay .

@reza if you are looking for solution to control relays without buttons then you can use default mysensors relay-actuator sketch.

You only need to change this line according to the number of relays you want to control (this will work with 2 and 4 channel relays).

#define NUMBER_OF_RELAYS 1 // Total number of attached relays

For 8 channel I think you would need custom sketch.
Check this thread. Sketch posted there allows you to assign individual pins.

hiii,
Go through this link. http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2833/relaywithbuttonactuator-6-channel

@niccodemi
hi my dear friend,
really ? just this line ???
so dont need I add new lines ? for example 4 channel :
#define RELAY_1 3
#define RELAY_2 4
#define RELAY_3 5
#define RELAY_4 6
I think these you say all of relay on or all of relay off ? is it true ? I want manage each relay Separately

@jemish thank you my friend , What is the difference between RelayActuator and RelayWithButtonActuator ??? and this is program of a IrrigationController so can i use for lighting controller ?

[niccodemi]

@Reza below is example for 4 channel relay

#define NUMBER_OF_RELAYS 4

It is that simple. If you will use this sketch then connect relays to pins 3, 4, 5 and 6.
You will be able to control each relay independently.
Relay actuator sketch allows you to control relays only via controller ie Veralite. Relay actuator with button sketch allows you to control relays via controller AND physical button (light switch).

@niccodemi
so mean that if i change "just" this line (#define NUMBER_OF_RELAYS 4) I can have a relay 4 channel ?
also I dont need define :
#define RELAY_1 3
#define RELAY_2 4
#define RELAY_3 5
#define RELAY_4 6
???

No, just change one line.

@hek hi dear hek , this is very Attractive :) very very thank you
