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 +** 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 configured, it is possible that multiple MNI can be controlled through the RS-232 connection at a single MNI
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)
