Just wondering if it's possible to have more than 8 outlets on the RKE.



Thanks

It is possible. In fact, I believe you can have something like 256 channels. It is way more than you would need.

You can have upwards of 63 modules, so to get more plugs simply add another PC4.

If you needed physical plugs for something like heaters that all are on or off together I would simply suggest using a power strip or something to those heaters.

If anything the current limit of the plugs/breakers in your house will probably limit you more so than the amount of plugs you'd actually need.

Yes and in fact is the big reason I'm upgrading from the RK2 to the RKE so I can get more than 8 plugs I can control individually. The power strip is a good example and one I use now on my RK2. All my return pumps and Phosban reactors are plug into a strip so that they only use one controllable plug on the RK2.

Very cool. I wish I had just a couple more plugs. Thank You all....
