boneIO ESP Cover Mix

You can buy the controller -> HERE

Utilizing the versatile ESP32 microcontroller and the simplicity of ESPHome software, the boneIO ESP controller provides an extremely flexible and easy-to-configure core for your smart home automation. With 35 digital inputs, 8 roller blind outputs, and 16 relay outputs, a single unit has enough power to manage all the automation in a 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 is also possible to control roller blinds thanks to dedicated outputs. boneIO ESP Cover Mix is a versatile controller that combines the features of a standard relay module with a specialized roller blind controller. It features 32 relays, 16 of which are paired with a hardware interlock to control up to 8 bidirectional motors (e.g., roller blinds), while the remaining 16 relays can be used for general purposes, such as controlling lighting circuits.

Key Features

• 35 digital inputs for connecting switches, motion sensors, contact sensors and others.
• Hybrid Outputs: 32 relays in total, including 8 pairs with a hardware interlock (motor protection) for controlling 8 roller shutters and 16 individual relays (10A) for general use.
• 3 analog inputs for integration with analog sensors (e.g., light or wind sensors).
• Reliable network connection via an Ethernet port and USB-C.
• 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 (12 modules).

Use Cases

The boneIO Cover Mix model is perfect choice for:

• Comprehensive automation of roller shutters and lighting in single-family homes and large apartments.
• Creating advanced scenes combining shutter control and lighting.
• Integration with an alarm system to automatically close all shutters when the alarm is armed.
• Integration with various sensors for advanced automation scenarios.
• Automating HVAC systems (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) thanks to Modbus support.
