Can I connect and operate two 1216L Rotator Control Units on the bus of a 1216H Webswitch?  I believe I can connect up to 25 devices to the single wire bus but I am unsure if this relates back to the 1216L???  Or do I need to buy a second 1216H Webswitch?  Thanks.

It is only possible to use a single 1216L unit per Webswitch. It is only temperature/humidity sensors which can be up to 25 per Webswitch.
Always include type of hard/software and version when asking for support.

In fact he can Jan,
when he use 1 relay to switch a second relay with 2 (or more) separated contacts and switch the 2 wires from the bus
between the 2 x 1216L units (maybe with a second profile)

From the Webswitch's point of view it is not possible, and that is what I answered. Being clever using relays the way you suggest is another story, of which I had not thought about  ;)

Hello;

I have a similar question.
Can I use 1216L and 1216S for rotator contorol simultaneously on
a single 1216H?

If you mean being able to control two rotators simultaneously from a single 1216H then no, that is not possible. You could however control either an  RS232 controlled rotator or an analogue rotator at a time, but you would then have to change the settings every time you want to control the one not currently selected.
