Expand the capabilities of your S-PLAY SP1-1 with this easy to set-up companion

Built to work exclusively with the S-PLAY SP1-1 (firmware V3 or above), ENTTEC's I/O Extender enhances your system’s input/output capabilities, integrating with setups for advanced smart lighting control.

Boost your system with an additional 20 digital inputs, 4 relays, and 2 analog inputs, making it ideal for both simple and complex installations - all easily managed via your existing S-PLAY SP1-1 interface.

With Ethernet In and Through ports, reliable network integration is effortless, while screw terminal and pluggable terminal blocks ensure a streamlined wiring process.

Expand your control

Put simply, the I/O Extender adds a whole swathe of extra physical connections to your S-PLAY SP1-1 system, enabling you to create many more triggers and events than were previously possible to be controlled by the same unit.

With 20 general-purpose input/output (GPIO) digital inputs, you can add multiple sensors, wall switches and much more.

The 4 relay inputs are ideal for operating mechanical devices such as curtains, pumps, winches or lifts.

You also get two analog inputs for light sensors, pressure sensors, temperature sensors, joysticks … pretty much any analog signal device you like.

Flexible networking

The I/O Extender is equipped with two Ethernet ports to create a dedicated, standalone S-PLAY show playback network. Easy to configure and monitor via the S-PLAY's web interface.

Always in sync

The I/O Extender is engineered to ensure real-time data exchange and synchronized control with your S-PLAY device. It's also effortless to configure, with most settings easily managed via the S-PLAY's own web interface.

Versatile power input

Flexible power options with a 12-24V DC screw terminal input.

Seamless integration

Ideal for projects requiring additional signal management and control capabilities. Add multiple I/O Extenders to your S-PLAY setup to build a larger, more powerful network. Choose from flexible installation options, including half rack, full rack, or surface mount, to perfectly fit your setup.

Example of a larger network system using the I/O Extender

Connection diagram: an S-PLAY controller and a network switch feed the I/O Extender over yellow Ethernet lines, with a 12-24V DC PSU, digital inputs, relays and an analog joystick wired to its green terminals, and a boxed list of Art-Net/sACN controller, PC software and OSC on the left.

For a simpler playback setup, users can bypass the network switch by connecting the S-PLAY device and the other node directly to the I/O Extender’s inbuilt network switch. This creates a dedicated network, allowing preset shows playback without the need for a complex network infrastructure.
