Yes please!
This would be great because then the AB Electronics IO Pi Plus 32 channel IO expansion board would be supported. (https://www.abelectronics.co.uk/p/54/io-pi-plus).
I see the MCP23017 is the I2C version of the MCP23S17 which uses SPI and is used on the piface2 expansion board which is already supported.
I'm currently using piface2 successfully but need more IOs
there is actually some sample code here that might be useful...
https://github.com/abelectronicsuk/ABElectronics_Python_Libraries
I Need support for MCP23017 - it has 16 I/O ports. News about this?
Home Assistant recently added MCP23017 support - https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/23127 maybe this code will be useful
Is there any update on this? It seems like quite a popular chip. I'd really like to have 16 I/Os
Any update on this? I came from openhab, and I would like to use my expander boards That I develop with MCP23017.
I have some boards with 48 I/O and another boards with 32 I/O. It's very useful for everyone like me that want to have a lot of wired sensors and switches.
Can someone give some guidance to develop this new module or make it? I can pay for the job.
Maybe the module pcf8575 will work.
Hey, sorry for the delay. Is there an existing Python MCP23016 library that we could use for integration? If so, it's a relatively simple job of copying one of the other modules for reference and modifying it to work with the different library.
I've just read the rest of the comments.. Ideally we'd use some kind of pip-installable package that enables control of the MCP23017. I suspect there is something usable, and I'll have a look this weekend.
The is some Python libraries on the internet. Here you have two examples:
https://pypi.org/project/RPi-MCP23017/
https://github.com/owainm713/MCP230XX-Python-Module
Maybe can be useful. Thanks for the help.
I will share after the hardware info that can be used by anyone.
Here is a photo of the 48Ch expander that I developed to expand the Raspberry Pi GPIO IOs by I2C with MCP23017 multiplexers.
@aerodolphin this looks awesome 👍🎉🚀 Are you planning to release the schematics? I'd like to make one to use this with Home Assistant (it supports MCP23017) I don't need 48 I/O, 30 will be enough, but maybe in the future, they will be used.
@Misiu Yes, I will release the schematics and also can sell the PCB board and components assembled or in kit. As soon as finish all the tests.
@aerodolphin I need this for a school project, so I'll try to build one on my own or buy it if the price will be good (sadly a low budget), but please let me know when tests are over. Really looking forward to this!
Looks great, good work @aerodolphin !
I worked on this project most of the weekend but this Issue slipped through the net I'm afraid. I'll try to make some progress with it this week.
Thank you @flyte Your help will be much appreciated.
Will be very usefull for wired systems for Smart Homes with Home Assistant or Openhab.
@flyte did you made some progress?
Hey, I've created a draft, but i can't test it here. It's on feature branch "feature/MCP23017". may you get it and test it, please? It is based on https://github.com/owainm713/MCP230XX-Python-Module
config should be something like:
gpio_modules:
- name: mcp23017_chip
module: mcp23017
i2c_bus_num: 1
chip_addr: 0x20 //depends on your address...
digital_outputs:
- name: out2
module: mcp23017_chip
pin: 2 # This device is connected to pin 2 of the mcp23017 IO expander
on_payload: "ON"
off_payload: "OFF"
I haven't added interrupts yet. Do you need them?
Please try it and report the errors here :-)
I can test it. But I don't know how to install that branch. Can you explain?
Interrupts are good to have, but we can keep this feature for future development.
May you have a look at this answer?: https://github.com/flyte/pi-mqtt-gpio/issues/114#issuecomment-652601513 Just replace the branch name. Does it work?
I made these steps:
cd /home/pi
. ve/bin/activate
git clone https://github.com/flyte/pi-mqtt-gpio.git
cd pi-mqtt-gpio
git checkout feature/MCP23017
Inserted your lines in my config file (pi-mqtt-gpio.yml) that is located inside the user pi directory:
gpio_modules:
- name: mcp23017_chip
module: mcp23017
i2c_bus_num: 1
chip_addr: 0x20 //depends on your address...
digital_outputs:
- name: porta
module: mcp23017_chip
pin: 2 # This device is connected to pin 2 of the mcp23017 IO expander
on_payload: "ON"
off_payload: "OFF"
Run it with this line:
python -m pi_mqtt_gpio.server pi-mqtt-gpio.yml
And got this errors:

Are you in the correct directory? May you look, if there is a pi_mqtt_gpio/modules/mcp23017.py

In the config I removed the // in the chip_addr line, because yaml it doesn't like it.

Sorry this basic question, but how I can make the git pull? Can you write the complete command line?
Of course: that would be git pull
in the pi-mqtt-gpio directory.
I made the git pull
. Thank you.
Got the same error.:
ImportError: No module named mcp23017
The location of the mcp23017.py is:
/home/pi/pi-mqtt-gpio/pi_mqtt_gpio/modules/mcp23017.py
Where could be the problem?
Hmm, may you try make
in pi-mqtt-gpio folder? It makes a schema for me, but fails with black....
Then try it again, please.
Or something is broken with the virtual env? maybe you try it again, but without the first step (https://github.com/flyte/pi-mqtt-gpio/issues/114#issuecomment-652601513) Just clone the repo in another directory...
With make in pi-mqtt-gpio
folder I got:

I will try without the virtual environment. What is the advantage of using the ve?
Outside the virtual environment I got the same error.
May you copy&paste your whole terminal? Maybe i find something, tomorrow :-)

Okay.
1) Virtuel Environment just helps to keep the "local" python installation clean. When python/pip installs some packages, they are stored in the system. Especially on development and trying different modules, this may "kill" or "floud" your system. Maybe sometimes packages are incompatible.
2) when you run python -m pi_mqtt_gpio.server pi-mqtt-gpio.yml
outside the pi-mqtt-gpio folder, you got via git and points to branch feature/MCP23017
, python will use your installed (old) pi_mqtt_gpio version, that does not know mcp23017, so you should get the ImportError: No module named mcp23017
error. This is okay.
3) when you run python -m pi_mqtt_gpio.server pi-mqtt-gpio.yml
insidethe pi-mqtt-gpio folder, the "new" module mcp23017 is know. On initializing the outputs, you get a key error:
initialise_digital_output(out_conf, GPIO_MODULES[out_conf["module"]])
KeyError: 'mcp23017'
That's what we need to investigate: May you post your pi-mqtt-gpio.yml config file? Copy&Paste please, just remove the mqtt info, if there is a password/username. Please don't change any of the other things, maybe there is an error or typo.

Hi, stupid error. Sorry about that. I will try now after the work when I get back to home. Thanks.
No problem :-) Good luck!
I confirm that is working. I was able to control an output with Home Assistant. Next I will test some sensors.
BenjiU, Interrupts are simple to implement?
Hmm, will be some hours, i guess. Are you able to test it?
It's up to you. I think will be very useful to use this module. And after that I plan to share and distribute the boards.
I can test it. I'm right now making some more tests to check if it's stable. In terms of hardware and software.
I made some tests with 32 inputs and outputs at the same time and it's working well. Only getting some delays. Sometime it is more than 20 seconds. The interrupts will resolve that issue.
Maybe i'll have a look at the interrupts this weekend.
Good to now. Thanks ;)

@BenjiU: Thank you for developing this module.
I assembled a prototype board to test it using three MCP23017 chips wired into 6 outputs and 6 inputs. The testing used an RPI4B 8GB running Ubuntu 20.04 I also confirm that these 12 I/Os can be controlled by homeassitant over mqtt.
There is an up-to 2 second lag when the six inputs are switched. This was configured as 2 inputs per chip. Using 32 inputs, as @aerodolphin mentioned, could have significant polling delay especially with many modules on the I2C bus.
Could a callback-on-interrupt be used to replace polling? It would be very desirable for the MCP23017 as there can be up-to 8 of these chips on the I2C bus.
Hi, thanks for your feedback. I haven't had time to do it this weekend, but I thought a lot about it. One problem would be the "configuration" of the interrupt pin: currently the modules don't know each other. So I don't want to add the RaspberryPI into the MCP23017 module for interrupt handler. It should be some generic method.
For the yaml two solutions came to my mind.
1) The interrupt config is in the module section (more logically, I think)
mqtt:
host: 192.168.0.180
...
gpio_modules:
- name: mcp23017_chip
module: mcp23017
i2c_bus_num: 1
chip_addr: 0x20 #depends on your address...
interrupt:
module: raspberrypi
pin: 2 #pin 2 on raspberry pi module is interrupt pin for mcp23017_chip module
trigger: rising
pullup: yes
pinterrupt: ulldown: no
bouncetime: 200
digital_inputs:
- name: doorbell
module: mcp23017
pin: 2 # This device is connected to pin 2 of the mcp23017 IO expander
on_payload: "ON"
off_payload: "OFF"
interrupt: falling
2) The configuration of the interrupt is in the input section (prevents better double usage of pin 2, maybe)
mqtt:
host: 192.168.0.180
...
gpio_modules:
- name: raspberrypi
module: raspberrypi
- name: mcp23017_chip
module: mcp23017
i2c_bus_num: 1
chip_addr: 0x20 #depends on your address...
digital_inputs:
- name: doorbell
module: mcp23017
pin: 2 # This device is connected to pin 2 of the mcp23017 IO expander
on_payload: "ON"
off_payload: "OFF"
interrupt: falling
- name: mcp23017_interrupt
module: raspberrypi
pin: 2 #pin 2 on raspberry pi module is interrupt pin for mcp23017_chip module
interrupt_module: mcp23017_chip
interrupt: rising
(I don't know, if the yaml syntax is 100% correct, it's just a dump of my mind) In the future, we will need a graphical configuration tool: it gets complicated :-D
