Hi. I've reinstalled my Octopi recently and while restoring from backup Octorelay's not been installed.
I've tried to manually install using the plugin manager and I got this output:

Requirement already satisfied: mdurl~=0.1 in /home/orangepi/OctoPrint/lib/python3.9/site-packages (from markdown-it-py>=2.2.0->rich<14,>=12->Flask-Limiter<4,>=3.3.0->OctoPrint->OctoRelay==3.14.0) (0.1.2)

After restarting Octorelay is not installed. I'm not sure whether it's an octoprint problem or something on github.
I'm using octopi 1.0.0 and OctoPrint 1.9.3.

OctoRelay most likely only supports Raspberry Pis, which is why it will not load on an Orange Pi.

This is the same for gpiocontrol, enclosure, and octolight plugins that it looks like you also have installed.

I just tried it and it downloaded fine, but the plugin is greyed out in manager with pending restart after a restart and a reboot. Does that mean it's incompatible or can it be fixed?

Also thanks for the recommendation.

You need to restart octoprint and then configure the plugin.

Note that, you need to have a micro controller like an esp32 to make use of the SIOControl plugIn. It connects to the ESP32 over serial for controlling its IO.

There are a lot of inexpensive boards you can get with an esp32 and relays to make good use of the SIOControl plugIn. I offer some but you can use just about any if you can hack the firmware a bit.

BTW.. I am the Author of the SIOControl PlugIn
