129	129	Mecho Shade's MechoNet Network Interface (MNI) allows integrating control of MechoNet hardware with third-party systems such as ShowRunnerCLC™ through a variety of different means. ShowRunnerCLC™ currently only supports using RS-232 or contact closure integrations: reach out to Chief Integrations for pricing if RS-485 or IR integrations are required.

136		-Specific hardware requirements depend on which method of integration is required:
	133	+Refer to [[the above table>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Integrations Guide.Integration Options.Shades Integrations.WebHome||anchor="HCommonIntegrationMethods"]] for general hardware compatibility. MNI-specific details are below depending on how shades are being integrated:
137	137
	135	+* For RS-232 integration:
	136	+** One RS-232 port on the ShowRunnerCLC™ system must be available for each MNI to be integrated
	137	+** Depending on how the MechoNet system is designed, it may be possible to control many shades through a single RS-232 integration provided that any additional MNI and controlled MechoNet hardware is networked together and configured on the MechoNet side
	138	+* For contact closure integration:
	139	+** Contact closure integration utilizes the MNI switch input ports: **it is not possible to use contact closure integration if Mecho switches are installed to control the shades**
	140	+** Two relays must be available for each Mecho motor to be controlled (it is possible to control multiple Mecho motors from a single relay pair provided that the MNI switch ports are wired in parallel)
	141	+* For RS-485 or IR integration, reach out to Chief Integrations for potentially adding these integrations

141	141	Specific information requirements depend on which method of integration is required:
142	142
143		-* **(Required) **Whether integration is being done through RS-232 or contact closures
	147	+* **(Required)** Specify whether integration is being done through RS-232 or contact closures
144	144	* For RS-232 integration:
	149	+** **(Required) **MechoNet devices must be addressed so that it is possible to control them per the SOO using their Zone, Group, Node addresses
	150	+*** MechoNet devices are assigned three-part Zone, Group, Node addresses similar to an IPv4 address with 3 parts instead of 4
	151	+*** e.g. a ZGN address of 128.151.253 represents a device in zone 128, group 151, and node 253
	152	+** **(Required) **ZGN addresses must be provided for all shades to be controlled
	153	+** **(Required)** location for each shade to be controlled so that they can be assigned to the correct areas in ShowRunnerCLC™
145	145	* For contact closure integration:
146		-** (Required) the same information as specified in the [[contact closure section above>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Integrations Guide.Integration Options.Shades Integrations.WebHome||anchor="HInformationRequirements"]] f
	155	+** **(Required)** all information specified in the [[general contact closure>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Integrations Guide.Integration Options.Shades Integrations.WebHome||anchor="HInformationRequirements"]] section above
	156	+** **(Required)** indicate which Crestron relays correspond to each motor on each MNI, and which shades are controlled by each motor
