Hi,
Please help me with this one.
I bought a Lilygo t-relay-8 and with esphome used:
esp32:
board: esp-wrover-kit
The relays work perfectly but the others input pins are not completely correct.
This is the board:
The model of the ESP32 chip in this board marks: ESP32-WROVER-E
What board should I put in the esphome yaml for this to work fine?
I have several of these arriving tomorrow, did you figure it out?
I found this: How to manage the load using the Lilygo T-Relay module on ESP32. Integration into Home Assistant. - YouTube
Doesn’t cover come assistant, though.
I will try tomorrow. Will likely need to just set the pins to GPIO14, etc, instead of D14

Hi. Well I think that I found my problem but didn’t had the time yet to implement the solution. Actually defining the board to esp-wrover-kit works perfectly with the relays. But in my case I also need to use some additional digital I/O and some analog reads. So I was getting some weird behaviors on the board (weird on/off readings on the I/O pins) . The solution that I’m guessing is that I need to build my own pull ups using simple resistors, since the I/O pins on this board are not pulled up.
I have the 4 relay board version and I am using 2 pins for pir and 2 pins magnetic sensor, everything is working.
I have set the board as esp32dev.
So how did it go for you using this board?
I still have a problem with it, I need to read two analog signals provided by a current sensor (0 to 1V max). And with the analog signals attached to some of the analog read pin in the board I have some unexpected and quite bothering triggering of some of the digital I/O pins. These unexpected triggering stops when I disconnect the analog reads, so I have narrowed down the problem to those reads. But still can’t find a solution as I really need those readings. I don’t know if someone has had this kind of problem before. Maybe a solution is to add a filter using some capacitors on the analog signals? I may be testing that soon…

Which pins are you using for analog reading and which ones for digital reading?
Have you tried enabling pullup on digital inputs?
Ok, I’m using GPIO23, GPIO22 and GPIO26 as binary sensors, GPIO36 and GPIO35 as analog read pins, and GPIO33, GPIO32, GPIO13, GPIO12, GPIO21 and GPIO19 as output pins.

I don’t know what kind of sensor or switch you are using, so it might be good if you enable the filters.
Ok thank you I can try that. On pins 22 and 23 they are just 3.3V on/off signals from another arduino and on pin 26 there is a reed switch on the garage door.
And what do you think about filtering the analog reads? And what about using real RC filters?
I’ve never needed to use filters in my few projects using adc, I don’t have much experience to share
