The ioBridge has 4 digital inputs, but they can only be sampled once every 10 seconds because that is how often the iobridge sends a signal to the router. To me, it then seems that the only use for these inputs would be to determine if something was on or off. I was hoping I could expand them for data transfer. Is it still possible somehow? What if I wanted to send 8 bits of data down the line, but if it's sampling once every 10 seconds, it's only going to catch one of the bits.
I find it hard to believe that the only purpose of the digital input would be to check if the pin was on or off. Maybe someone can fill me on what I might be missing.

EDIT: haha, I can get a whopping 4 bits of data if I use all 4 pins. That's probably the wrong approach though...
