I've been asked to created a program that will begin to shut down our datacenter servers at the first sign of power supply problems. I've connected a Ocelot controller to the ADICON SECU-16 port I/O module. However, I see no way to tell PowerHome that I have an added module with 8 inputs and 8 outputs.
What am I missing.

After adding the Ocelot under Controllers, would it be under Devices, Digital I/O?

Nothing shows up under Digital I/O Types or Points. Is there no 'Discovery' method of finding attached devices? And if not, where in the documentation does it show how to add such devices. I've read through the Quick Start Guide and the Users Manual, but found nothing.
Thanks,

Dave,
There is no "Discovery" for the Digital I/O or Analog I/O  .
It's pretty simple to setup though. The first thing to do is to declare the appropriate Digital I/O types. This can be as simple as declaring a single type such as "Ocelot Digital Point". You would only need to have multiple types if you wanted to differentiate among them somehow using different status colors or graphics in the Device Status screen.
Once you've got at least 1 point type declared, you can then declare the individual points in the Digital I/O|Points screen. This is fairly straightforward except for the definition of the "Unit" and "Point" fields. If using an Ocelot, then the "Unit" field should be a number from 1 to 128 corresponding with the address of the remote module whose points you're trying to define. The "Point" field is a number from 0 to 15 identifying the individual point on the module.
HTH,
Dave.
