i have tried the usb relay plugin i cant get it to work so i am looking for a way of adding a button to the top bar etc to send comands to the pi ie-
to open relay
echo -e '\xA0\x01\x01\xA2' > /dev/ttyUSB0

and to close it
echo -e '\xA0\x01\x00\xA1' > /dev/ttyUSB0

any help would be much apreciated
thanks

i did try adding this to the config yaml with no luck
system:
actions:

• action: relayonoff
  command: echo -e '\xA0\x01\x01\xA2' > /dev/ttyUSB0
  confirm: false
  name: turn relay on
• action: relayoff
  command: echo -e '\xA0\x01\x00\xA1' > /dev/ttyUSB0
  confirm: false
  name: turn relay off

• action: relayonoff
  command: sudo echo -e '\xA0\x01\x01\xA2' > /dev/ttyUSB0
  confirm: false
  name: turn relay on
  • action: relayoff
    command: sudo echo -e '\xA0\x01\x00\xA1' > /dev/ttyUSB0
