Use this method at the end of your program to close down the pins.

switchOn(socketIndex, *timeout)

Switching ON the socket using socketIndex with optional timeout in miliseconds, default is to 250 and sets the state to ON.

switchOff(socketIndex)

Switching OFF the socket using socketIndex and sets the state to ON.
