i2c IO expander digital input board for ESPHome HA - KinCony DI8

[@gubbernl]

Nice work! I can see a new expansion/expandable range of products over here👍 But I do have some recommendations for the design. It would be a huge plus if the housing has the same height and formfactor as the main unit !! It would also help if all connectors are the same. So same colour and formfactor on the main and secondary unit. Also i2c connectors at the outside (top or bottom). Professional PLC manufacturers have pins at the side, so modules can be clicked to each other without wires to the main unit. But that is not necessarily needed. A simple flatcable between the boards will also do and does look professional.🙂 . Keep on doing this amazing work!

thanks for your suggestion.

thats my request, thanksss

The A16 and DI8 pair in ESPHOME and yaml works great. How do I connect to DI8 I2C in KCS?

[@KinCony]

only use by esphome

Hi, it is perfect to have external Inputs for I2C, do you have planned external PWM outputs for PCA9685? For example for dimmable RGBW applications?

[@KinCony]

if DIYers want it, we can make it.

[@seranjeevic]

hi sir, Nice to see you. I have a question for you.... my new construction is under process........what are the measures to implement home automation. and give some ideas and requirements sir, and then how to plan for 2bhk home of 1200 square feet only ground floor

[@KinCony]

you can post your requirement details to our technical support forum: www.kincony.com/forum

Hi, how much distance(max) can cover this i2c Expander?

[@KinCony]

it according to wire quality, we suggest use

Could you show an example in Arduino?

[@KinCony]

in our forum have arduino demo code.

[@MagicJF]

Could I reach 72 chanels with main board + 8 DI8 module?

[@KinCony]

sure, it's ok. 8+64=72

[@GiuseppeLabriola]

N1!

[@SuperKnightwind]

you have 30amps relay

[@KinCony]

yes, M1 board is 30A relay.
