    hi
    I built a 4 channel relay . wiring similar to wiring in mysensors Directions . The difference : IN1=3 , IN2=4 , IN3=5 , IN4=6 . and I change just this line in code :
    #define NUMBER_OF_RELAYS 1 // Total number of attached relays
    to
    #define NUMBER_OF_RELAYS 4 // Total number of attached relays

    but after the programming just one relay is working !
    please help me , please give me correct code

      What does the serial debug output say?

              hi I build a 2channel relay but this is same problem ( just one relay is working
              it is serial manitor :
              send: 2-2-0-0 s=255,c=0,t=18,pt=0,l=3,sg=0,st=ok:1.5
              send: 2-2-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=6,pt=1,l=1,sg=0,st=ok:0
              read: 0-0-2 s=255,c=3,t=6,pt=0,l=1,sg=0:M
              repeater started, id=2, parent=0, distance=1
              send: 2-2-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=11,pt=0,l=5,sg=0,st=ok:Relay
              send: 2-2-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=12,pt=0,l=3,sg=0,st=ok:1.0
              send: 2-2-0-0 s=1,c=0,t=3,pt=0,l=0,sg=0,st=ok:
              send: 2-2-0-0 s=2,c=0,t=3,pt=0,l=0,sg=0,st=ok:

                Hi @Reza

                The start logs looks ok. Does the relay/node log say anything when you send a command from your controller. Any info from your controller?

                Did you define your pins for the relay? A long shot but someone wrote it worked when they changed from 3,4,5,6 to 4,5,6,7 for some reason.
                In most cases though it seems to be a power problem. Try changin your power source and see what happens.

                What im most curous about at this point is to see the log from your relay when you send a on/off command for the two relays.

                  now I have a 2channel relay , i want test for 2channel but this is similar to 4channel .

                  in1=pin3 , in2=pin4 . the pin 3 is not working , now in2 is working , but if i change pin3 and 4 in1 will working. also i change 2 line of program to and wiring in1=5 and in2=4 but now pin4 dont work ....
                  #define RELAY_1 4 // Arduino Digital I/O pin number for first relay (second on pin+1 etc)
                  #define NUMBER_OF_RELAYS 2 // Total number of attached relays
                  now

                    Looks great - but taking steps here i want to know what happens in the serial log on your node when you send a on/off command from your controller?

                      @Reza we are kind of guessing in the dark right now. Can you post your sketch (as code, use the </> format button)

                            I change power supply and use a 5v 1A adaptor , but one relay is off always ( led off). and 2channel relay is not failure because when I change output pin 3 and 4 , that relay is on and work !!

                                  @Reza - ok communication looks good. My vote will be on power.
                                  I would try to power the relay separately and see what happens (not from Arduino).

                                      @Reza From your images you are not - do you have another adaptor for the relay?

                                        I disconnect relay from arduino and connect to a adaptor 5v 1A

                                          Strange... im out of ideas at this point. Hardware failure?
                                          Im not that good looking at the code, but I maybe someone else is.
