I’ve got the SainSmart 16 channel relay board with RJ45 Interface board:
Currently, I use this as a standalone system for controlling my home’s in-wall speakers. I’m a fan of the system- it restarts upon loss of power quickly and as long as your LAN is 192.168.1.X, connectivity issues are not a thing.
I was wondering if anyone has successfully integrated it into Home Assistant? I’ve seen threads where folks have used their Pi GPIO to control the relay board, but due to space constraints I’d like to see if its possible to use the supplied RJ45 interface in a Home Assistant integration.
I have the same card and have coded a python script that was working well to control it (even if it was a bit a mess in the code, first time really coding in python).
I was wondering if an integration had been done for this board; as it seems not, I’m motivated to do it.
Let me have the time to learn how to do an integration, and I will work on it. If you have a link that could speed up my leaning, please feel free to share.
