Hi,

your script is very good. Only one question: i have the 4 relay board with 
temperature sensor. How can I read the temperature with your script? can you 
add some option to read it?

thanks
lorenzo

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

./drcontrol.py -d DAE0002Y -r 1 -c on (Open relay 2)

./drcontrol.py -d DAE0002Y -r 2 -c on (Open relay 4)

./drcontrol.py -d DAE0002Y -r 3 -c on (Open relay 6)

./drcontrol.py -d DAE0002Y -r 4 -c on (Open relay 8)

./drcontrol.py -d DAE0002Y -r 5 -c on (Open relay 1)

./drcontrol.py -d DAE0002Y -r 6 -c on (Open relay 3)

./drcontrol.py -d DAE0002Y -r 7 -c on (Open relay 5)

./drcontrol.py -d DAE0002Y -r 8 -c on (Open relay 7)

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have a Mac Mini with OS X Mavericks 10.9.1
2. Perform all the steps (included troubleshooting) of the OX X installation 
guide (https://code.google.com/p/drcontrol/wiki/Install_MacOSX)
3. After successfully getting the device serial (with -l), trying to set the 
relays with -r

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: Relays being set, confirmation
Getting instead: Relays not being set, Error "Error: device not found (-3)"

Please provide any additional information below.
I installed the drivers from http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
I also performed the kextunload and kextload

Is the function of drcontrol with Mavericks confirmed yet?
Thank You!

As you see, it only lists 7 relays if i use the "all"-option while it's 
possible to ask for the state of relay 8. It's version 0.12c

On a denkovi 8 relay board the state function doesn't work correctly

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  power on one of the relay
2.  send the state command
3.  still says off, however relay is on

With the all on command, state of 7 of the 8 becomes on, but they're all on.  I 
did change 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
When you send the on command, relay should be powered up, and state should say 
on

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I run the last version (0.12c) on a Raspberry pi running debian 7.6

I already change line 193 as suggested in issue 2:

for i in range(1,9):


I also did have to change the numbering to get the relays in the right order:
   address = {
            "1":"1",
            "2":"2",
            "3":"4",
            "4":"8",
            "5":"10",
            "6":"20",
            "7":"40",
            "8":"80",
            "all":"FF"
            }
