Based on the powerful BeagleBone Black and running our custom software, the boneIO Black controller offers robust and reliable performance for your smart home. With 49 digital inputs and 24 relay outputs, a single unit has enough capacity to manage all the automation in an entire house or apartment. This includes lighting and heating systems, as well as controlling entrance and garage gates by providing a pulse to the drive. The boneIO Black 24x16A is a specialized control unit designed to manage high-load electrical circuits. Equipped with 24 powerful 16A relays, each featuring its own, galvanically isolated COM terminal, it provides maximum flexibility and safety for controlling outlets, electric heating, pumps, or other high-power devices.

Key Features

  • 49 digital inputs for connecting switches, motion sensors, contact sensors and others.
  • 24 independent 16A relay outputs with full galvanic isolation (each relay has its own COM terminal). for controlling sockets and high-power appliances.
  • 7 analog inputs for integration with analog sensors (e.g., light or wind sensors).
  • Reliable network connection via an Ethernet port.
  • Wide expansion capabilities thanks to Modbus, I2C, CAN and 1-Wire interfaces.
  • Built-in OLED screen for a quick overview of the device's status.
  • Standard DIN rail mounting (15 modules).

Use Cases

Thanks to the high load capacity and separation of the relays, the 24x16A model is ideal for:

  • Directly controlling electrical outlet circuits throughout a house.
  • Managing electric underfloor heating or convector heaters.
  • Controlling high-consumption devices such as pumps, fans, motors, or solenoid valves.
  • Integration with three-phase power systems.

Quick Start Guide

  1. Device Installation: A qualified person must mount the device on a DIN rail.
  2. Offline Verification: Connect a switch to input IN01 and a light bulb to output OUT01. Press the switch – the bulb should change its state.
  3. Network Connection: Plug a LAN cable into the RJ45 port.
  4. Accessing the Web Panel: Find the device's IP address (displayed on the OLED screen or in your router) and enter it into a browser to access the web interface.
