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 32 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. It's also possible to control blinds (though we offer dedicated controllers for this purpose). The boneIO Black 32x10A is designed to manage lights and some other not electrical demanding devices throughout your home.
Key Features
- 49 digital inputs for connecting switches, motion sensors, contact sensors and others.
- 32 relay outputs (10A) for controlling lights, outlets, valves.
- 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
The boneIO controller is the perfect choice for:
- Comprehensive automation of single-family homes and large apartments.
- Controlling multiple lighting circuits from a single location.
- Integration with an alarm system by collecting signals from sensors.
- Integration with various sensors for advanced automation scenarios.
- Automating HVAC systems (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) thanks to Modbus support.
