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.

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
