8ch relayboard support with esp8266 #545

Closed BigOrangeClown closed 6 years ago

BigOrangeClown commented 7 years ago

tried to change the code for wemos but ended up on switching multiple channels via mqtt i am not firm in programming so a native support 4 that would be really nice....

8ch relay board.... Is there only one type around? Provide at least schematics and/or esp8266 pin layout.

mrmin24 commented 7 years ago

yes please. stefanbode did do a version for the I2C expander, but there are some issues with pulsetimers not working correctly.

Basically just 8ch DIO pins required inverted or non-inverted

BigOrangeClown commented 7 years ago

Hey there, sorry for the missing information! basically i just need 8 DOUT pins from an NodeMcu based baord ( pinout: https://goo.gl/images/5gdKa2 ) for the 8 DIN Pins on the relayboard ( similiar to that board: https://goo.gl/images/wdG7wU )

thankfully

What's wrong with having two Sonoff 4CH devices already supported?

davidelang commented 7 years ago

I think it would be great to not be limited to 4 buttons/switches/relays/LEDs, I can see lots of situations where I would want more than 4 of any one of these. I have a lot of situations where the point of control and the point of effect are not the same, so having relays on the point of control is a waste and having buttons at the point of effect is a waste.

But the way tasmota is currently written, this is ugly to do. It would be far nicer if instead of an enumerated list of items, there was a list of item types, and you could add a type to a gpio (or ideally, add an item type that uses multiple gpios)

But doing this would be a major restructuring if not a rewrite of the code.

I want to minimize the clients in network as far as possible, would be glad about 16 relay / network user but right now there are 5x8ch boards already in use ( with own pretty simple code / wether nice than reliable )- just took tasmota for some sonoff for single actors and i am really satisfied by the performance and all the informations that are delivered by the device - so just thought about would be awsome if i could get this to my installed boards - really don´t want to disassemble half of my e - installation for adding some new devices....

I too would like to see 8 channel available. Currently I use one of these http://linksprite.com/wiki/index.php5?title=LinkNode_R8:_Arduino-compatible_WiFi_relay_controller. with ESPeasy There are issues with this board on reboot that cause 2 of the relays to be on during boot up, so I only use 6 of them.

sandervandegeijn commented 7 years ago

Same here :) Using two 4ch modules isn't practical cost wise and implementation wise (space confinements)

Here is support for the LinkNode R8
