Sensors
smartDEN IP-Maxi-MQ is shipped with one NTC thermistor (temperature) sensor B57500M Epoxy Resin (up to 4 such sensors are supported by singe module). However additional sensors can be ordered from our store from these links:
The module has 4 analog inputs 0-10V which can be used also with every analog output sensor within this voltage range. You can check our other sensors as well for the analog inputs: LM35DZ (temperature), LM335Z (temperature), HIH-4000 (humidity), TSL250R (light), GP2Y0A21YK (proximity), Voltage Transducer 0-300V AC In, 0-10V DC Out, Current Transducer 0-50A AC In, 0-10V DC Out
Application Examples
Example 1. Controlling electrical appliances remotely

Access via software DRMv3
This device is supported by DRMv3 Software.
The device can be found in the device list under the default name: smartDEN IP-Maxi-MQTT or smartDEN IP-Maxi-XML
The device can be controlled by smartDEN IP-32IN Input Module over the network
This is the so called BOX-TO-BOX mode. An input from smartDEN IP-32IN Input module can control over the network (ethernet/internet) relay from current module. Meantime it is also possible to control the relays and inputs from mobile devices, web browser... Please check out our application note DAE-AN016 for more information.
Control smartDEN IP-Maxi-MQ via MQTT
smartDEN IP-Maxi-MQ relays can be controlled by MQTT V3.1.1 messages. The module subscribes to a topic like SmartDEN_MQTTMaxi/E8EADA123456/Set/RS1 and the publisher (laptop, smartphone) sends a message like 0 or 1 to turn ON and OFF the relay. For full MQTT commands list, please refer to the product documentation.
Access smartDEN IP-Maxi-MQ from browser
Control smartDEN IP-Maxi-MQ via HTTP GET Request and receive the reply in XML or JSON format
For software integrators - as usually, the module supports HTTP GET requests with JSON/XML reply.
smartDEN IP-Maxi-MQ HTTP GET request concept
Sample JSON GET request:
http://192.168.1.53:31080/current_state.json?pw=admin&Relay1=1
Sample XML GET request:
http://192.168.1.53:31080/current_state.xml?pw=admin&Relay2=0
Please refer to the documentation for more information what is the command format and what parameters are supported.
XML and JSON GET request / reply

Troubleshooting
- Problem: There is an access to the device via PING and Denkovi Finder "see" it, however it is not possible to open it's web server via any browser (the HTTP port is correct as well).
- Solution: Some antivirus software (like Avast for example) may block the HTTP traffic to the device. Be sure this type of communication is enabled by your antivirus/firewall software.
