Hello,

Is there possibility to install a start button for a generator into a DCE?

It should be something like door handle command on Netbotz 250 & I am acctualy thinking of conecting generator instead of the door handle 😀

Hello Boris,

Sorry, that is not currently possible.  The only things that Data Center Expert can control are NetBotz Rack Access and APC Switched Rack PDU Outlets.

Kind Regards,

Cory

Hi Cory,

Is it possible to control dry contacts on Netbotz??? I can use them to send command to a generator.

You can submit feature requests under: Resources Menu > Feature Requests.

The NetBotz 250 has a relay that you can control via it's web interface.  Note that this will not be able to be done through Data Center Expert.  It must be done via the web interface of the NetBotz 250.

I am not aware if it has been tested or not, but the following design may also affect the NetBotz 250:
