Possible to use ETH484

Post by fotoon »

Hi Guys,

I am new here, so let me introduce myself. I am Antonie and I am working woth Domoticz for about half a year now.
I have quite a nice system build, using rfxcom, P1 cable and OTGW. But forswitching this is all wireless. I would like to have wired inputs and relay outputs.

I have seen the ETH8020 which is uspported by DOmoticz. I don't needs the 20 relays tough. A good alternative is the ETH484 with 4 relays, 4 digital inputs and 4 analog inputs. Is this also supported. I know you can control the relays using Json, so that should be the problem, but I am not sure aboout the inputs. Is there somebody who can help me?

If you have other options, preferrably with ethernet and not too expensive, I would love to hear about it.

Thanks guys!

Antonie

If your requirements for relays are limited, and if digital I/O is sufficient, did you consider Piface, the addon-board for Raspberry?
Not ethernet, but fitted direct on top of Raspberry: provides both input discretes and output discretes with 2 relays.
Supported by the Hardware catalogue in the Domoticz Dashboard.
Set1 = RPI-Zero+RFXCom433+S0PCM+Shield for BMP180/DS18B20/RS485+DDS238-1ZNs
Set2 = RPI-3A++RFLinkGTW+ESP8266s+PWS_WS7000
Common = KAKUs+3*PVLogger+PWS_TFA_Nexus
plus series of 'satellites' for dedicated interfacing, monitoring & control.

Yes I did consider the Piface, but there a some points with it:
- There are a lot of poroblems in the world with Piface not working of not working properly.
- Piface 2 digital is only working on a raspberry Pi 2B, which is not available at the moment. To my information it is not working on a Pi3. If I am wrong please correct me.
- A seperate ethernet unit looks more preffesional and has intergrated relays which can switch 230VAC. The Piface is not really capable of this, which means you need to use separate relays.

Please give me your view on this.
