Smart Trigger System

The Most Flexible Control System
Ever Built.

Connect any 12V signal to any of 12 trigger inputs. Trigger any pattern, control any channel, activate any relay — all from one intelligent board. No limits. No compromises.

The Magic is in the Mapping

Traditional controllers are hard-wired. RhinoLink is software-defined. You decide what every wire does.

Any 12V Input

Brake, door switch, reverse, turn signal, or custom button

RhinoLink Logic

Detects signal, checks priority, and executes your custom mapping

Any Output

Trigger specific patterns, colors, relays, or app shortcuts

Bonus: Your iOS app updates instantly when physical triggers activate.

Engineered for Total Control

Every feature is designed to give you the most capable system on the market.

Dynamic Mapping

Wire your brake signal to rock lights. Connect your door switch to puddle lights. Map any input to any output — the board doesn't care. You're in control.

Two-Way Sync

Physical triggers instantly update your iOS app dashboard. Step on the brake, see it highlight in the app. No delays. No polling. True real-time sync.

Priority Safety

Safety first. Brake lights always override show patterns. Turn signals take priority over ambient lighting. Smart conflict resolution keeps you safe.

Seamless Animation Resume NEW

Industry First: When a trigger activates, we save your complete animation state — position, timing, colors. When released, animations resume exactly where they left off. No restarts, perfect sync.

Virtual Shortcuts

Create unlimited app-only buttons without using physical pins. Perfect for quick-access patterns, favorites, or when all pins are in use.

Configurable Debounce

Eliminate false triggers from electrical noise. Set debounce timing from 0-1000ms per pin. Perfect for noisy automotive environments.

26+ Action Types

One trigger input can do almost anything. Here is a taste of what's possible:

Automotive

Brake Lights

Red brake pattern with priority override

Turn Signals

Left/Right amber integration

Reverse Lights

Bright white backup illumination

Show & Patterns

Strobe Mode

Instant high-intensity strobe

Pattern Select

Jump to any specific pattern/color

SOS / Hazard

Emergency signal patterns

System Control

Power Output Control

Up to 8 outputs: Solid, Pulse, or Strobe modes

Brightness/Speed

Adjust intensity on the fly

Kill Switch

Immediate all-off for safety

Industry First Technology

Seamless Animation Resumption

No other LED controller does this. When a trigger button interrupts your running animations, RhinoLink saves the complete animation state — position, timing, colors, everything. When you release the button, animations resume from the exact point they were interrupted, maintaining perfect sync with other channels.

How It Works

  1. Before Interruption: System saves animation position, timing, color index, and all state variables
  2. During Interruption: Trigger action executes (e.g., turn channel white)
  3. On Release: All animation state is restored exactly as it was
  4. Result: Animation continues seamlessly — no restart, no sync loss

Example Scenario

Setup: 3 channels running synchronized chase pattern

Ch 0: Chase Ch 1: Chase Ch 2: Chase

Action: Trigger button pressed → Channel 1 turns white

Ch 0: Chase Ch 1: White Ch 2: Chase
System saves: Ch 1 position=45, color_index=2, timing=1234ms

Release: Trigger button released → Channel 1 resumes

Ch 0: Chase Ch 1: Chase Ch 2: Chase
All channels stay perfectly in sync — no restart!

Universal Power Output Control

Control up to 8 relay outputs from any trigger button or shortcut with three output modes:

Solid
On while held
Pulse
1Hz blink
Strobe
5Hz flash
  • Light bars (via relay)
  • Cooling fans (via relay)
  • Air compressors (via relay)
  • Any 12V accessory (via relay)
IMPORTANT: Relay Trigger Only

This board is ONLY designed to TRIGGER a relay, not power any device directly. The power outputs control relay coils (low current). You must use external relays to switch high-power devices like light bars, fans, compressors, or winches. Never connect devices directly to these outputs.

Example Setup

Light Bar Control: Switch triggers Output 1 (Solid mode) → Output triggers external relay coil → Relay switches light bar power. Works from app, shortcut, or physical switch.

First to Market Technology

Total Control When You Reverse

No other controller does this. When you put your vehicle in reverse, RhinoLink can activate ALL your lights — front, sides, rear, and even your reverse POD lights — all from one trigger input. Maximum visibility, complete control.

What Makes This Different

Traditional
Only rear lights
RhinoLink
ALL lights + POD
  • Front channels turn white (full visibility)
  • Side channels turn white (peripheral vision)
  • Rear channels turn white (standard reverse)
  • Reverse POD lights activate via relay output
  • All from one reverse signal wire

Real-World Example

Off-Road Night Reversing: Connect your reverse wire to one trigger input. Configure it to:

  • Channels 0+1 (front) → Solid white at 100%
  • Channels 2+3 (rear) → Solid white at 100%
  • Channel 4 (sides) → Solid white at 80%
  • Output 1 → Triggers relay for reverse POD lights

Result: Maximum visibility in all directions when backing up. Perfect for tight trails, parking in the dark, or any situation where you need to see everything around you.

Real World Applications

See how builders are using the RhinoLink Smart Trigger System.

Smart Door Entry

Connect door switches to any trigger input.

  • Triggers Dome Light (Channel 5 White)
  • Activates Puddle Lights (Channel 1 Blue)
  • App dashboard shows "Door Open"

Temp Controlled Fan

Connect temp sensor to any trigger input.

  • Output 1 triggers relay for Cooling Fan
  • Relay coil activated by board output
  • Auto-off when temp drops
Board triggers relay only. Use external relay for fan power.

Brake Light Integration

Wire brake pedal signal to any trigger input.

  • Channels 2+3 flash red (rear brake lights)
  • Overrides any show pattern (priority)
  • App shows brake active instantly
  • Animation resumes in perfect sync — no restart!

Why It Matters

The difference between a toy and a tool.
