Hello,
could you connect the HLK-DIO16?
How to connect please send details
i have one but don’t know how to use it with homeassistant, hlk-sw16 worked perfectly but not hlk-dio16. Hope someone will help
I too want to use HLK-DIO16. It is MODBUS compatible. Does this compatibility mean an easier way to integrate into home-assistant? Is there someplace on this forum where MODBUS compatibility is “mapped” to home -assistant workings. I just joined home-assistant and will look for this.
I took delivery of two of these and can’t seem to figure out how to communicate with it. Google search very limited. Waiting to hear from Hi-Link who makes it. Free “packetsender” I can send string, get blank response (not NO response) but that is as far as I go. Google search one person said this device DOES NOT offer modbus over tcp, but "does have their own protocol). Very sketchy, though. Anybody?
Hi, I wrote the HLK-SW16 integration, if someone here can set up remote access(I only have 2 HLK-SW16 devices myself at the moment) I can investigate if the HLK-DIO16 can also be made to work.

Hi Jameshillard,
i have a coulple of HLK-DIO 16 and can manage to give you remote access to my home assistant
Yeah, PM me the access info to one I can play around with and I’ll try and take a look when I have some time. Port forwarding the HLK-DIO16 is probably the easiest way to set up remote access, ssh to a linux system on the same network also works.
Hi Jameshillard,
Have you received my PM?
Come on guys you CAN DO IT!!. We are all waiting and counting on YOU!! 
Hello, what’s the good news about HLK-DIO16
i have 2 devices, if someone can connect it, i can send one for free to do the configuration.
I think so, have been somewhat swamped with work last few weeks so haven’t had a chance to look at it yet, will take a look whenever I get some time.
Can you send me your address and full name in PM i’ll send you the device.
Sure, I PM’d it to you. Not sure when I’ll get some time to look at it, hopefully the protocol is similar to the HLK-SW16 or some other device that already has a home-assistant integration as that would make things fairly quick.
Hello, is there any progress on this project
Well I don’t think @mehdi38 got around to sending me one for testing, I’ve mostly been migrating the hlk-sw16 client to use config flow at the moment.
hello, I have a HLK-DIO.but I have no way to sending it to you. I can fully cooperate with you. Provide the data you want. I have some information about it,Hopefully it will work as well as the HLK-SW
