hostname = "192.168.10.59"
port = 4002
dev = guitastro_device_siemensae02.Device_Siemensae02("TCH_TCP", transport="TCP", port=port, hostname=hostname, delay_put_read=delay_put_read, end_of_command_to_receive=end_of_command_to_receive, name=name)
dev.open(False)

state = dev.commandstring("relays DO STATE")
state = dev.commandstring("relays DO ACTION 'Close TOIT_SUD'")
