Leveraging the versatile ESP32-S3 microcontroller and the simplicity of ESPHome, the boneIO ESP Input24 gen2 controller provides an incredibly easy way to expand number of inputs in your Home Automation system.

Thanks to 24 digital inputs placed in an extremely small enclosure - we significantly increase the system's potential. The controller can be used for button control or as a central unit for handling motion sensors and reed switches! The boneIO Input24 was primarily designed as a device to increase the number of inputs supported by the system.

Key Features

  • 24 digital inputs For connecting switches, motion sensors, contact sensors and others.
  • Reliable network connection via Ethernet and WiFi (with external antenna).
  • Wide expansion capabilities thanks to Modbus, and CAN interfaces.
  • USB-C port for easy firmware installation.
  • Compact 7-module DIN rail enclosure.

Use Cases

The boneIO ESP Input24 gen2 controller is the perfect choice for:

  • 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.
