Practical Selection Tips for South African Buyers

  • Portal/Cloud vs. LAN: If network continuity is a concern, select iHost SKUs that allow direct LAN control for uninterrupted automation during internet outages.
  • Expansion & Integration: Consider modular input/output add-ons if your setup requires interfacing with legacy sensors, switches, or alarms commonly found in SA buildings.
  • Power Supply: Verify power input specifications (e.g., 220-240V AC, micro-USB or DC jack) against your installation site's supply for safe deployment.

Sample Calculation: Selecting the Right iHost Module

Suppose you wish to automate lighting and security in a school lab. With 15 smart relays (each drawing 0.2A at 5V) and several sensors (totaling 0.5A), calculate total required current:

Total load = (15 x 0.2A) + 0.5A = 3A + 0.5A = 3.5A.

Add 20% headroom for reliability: 3.5A x 1.2 = 4.2A. Ensure your iHost module and power supply support this output for safe operation.
