    Are you using the Openbuilds relay box: https://openbuildspartstore.com/iot-...y-power-strip/ to turn it on and off? Or are you trying to control the speed using the 1-10v signal from the "black box" https://openbuildspartstore.com/blac...ontrol-system/ ? If the VFD is working for you now, it's in manual mode. To get it to respond to those 1-10v signals, you need to put it in automatic mode. There should be something in the VFD manual about how to do that.

    You can post more information like VFD type and photos, the connections, any alarm code on the VFD? etc
