1. Relay is always ON after power failure.
2. It is not possible to control the relay with the button.
3. It is not possible to control the relay with SMS, except that the Relay timer function will still work. With Relay timer it is possible to turn the relay OFF for a specific number of seconds (or minutes). This is useful to restart the server.
4. Alarm will always be activated and is not possible to deactivate with SMS.

Sensor (4-20mA) settings
