Analog Input Boards

Hardware
1

I need a pre-made board with as many analog inputs as possible,

4 - 20 mA preferred
0 - 10 V
0 - 5 V

Is there anything out there?

I have bought a bunch of Kincony hardware to try out, but unfortunately they are just not reliable.

One of them was fine and works great.

My latest purchase, the KC868-AIO, I set up and was testing the inputs and the next day it just somehow stopped working. Ethernet no longer worked, and I couldn’t even flash it anymore due to errors with their flashing software and whatever.

In theory they should be nearly perfect, but just are not stable enough yet.

I’m pretty desperate to get analog inputs form various sensors into Home Assistant. I lack the time/knowledge to easily develop my own board or pay for a professional development (unless someone wants to participate in this endeavour) and want to buy pre-made ones.

Just common esphome devboard is needed.
for first, 150ohm shunt resistor
for second and third, voltage divider made of two resistors to bring down ~ 3v.

An esp32 running ESPHome can do this.

I keep trying to find pre-built boards and I cannot find anything that I don’t have to tinker with.

All that I ever found needs tinkering.

Can you link me to an example of a finished board?

no

Hello,
Any industrial interface will do something like that.
Like https://www.seneca.it/en/linee-di-prodotto/acquisizione-dati-e-automazione/sistemi-io-modbus-rtu/moduli-io-analogici/z-4ai/
Or use a PLC if price is not a problem like a Siemens LOGO!
The with the protocol you want you can import the data to HA.
Boards are premade the integration woth your system is not.

Yeah I think that’s the direction I’ll go.

I found this BacNET Integration on HACS that seems to work very well and will be very easy to use.

I already tested it on a BacNET device and it pulled the data perfectly.
