“Great hat, works as expected. I have paired it with Codec Zero and they work together with no issues. Example code provided does not work with new rpiOS and RPi5 due to RPi architecture changes, but there are some new libraries that support new architecture that you will be able to use in order to work with this hat.”
“First time I've ventured into raspberry pi automation and used this to control a string of outside lights.
The product arrived securely packaged and came with an excellent online reference as well as diagrams on the board itself to show the relay open and closed positions which really helps when connecting the mains power.
The relay board itself is robust and the connections into the relay clamp the cable rather than being a screw. This makes the connection extremely secure.
Very pleased with product and excellent value for money”
“Very easy to set up electrically and mechanically.
Programming easy to switch the relays.
Adequate power rating of the switches.
I have this set up now in the airing cupboard with relayas controlling
-. Boiler on off
-. Boiler pump on off
-. Heating system circ pump on off
The inputs are a temp sensor on the hot water tank and switch inputs from room temperature controllers - those 7 day programmable type.
So now the pi minimises the temperature of the hot water and the pi can also be set to not put heating (or hot water) on (not at all or not much depending on season) when we are away.
Uses python published in github.”
“The board works well. I mostly followed the instructions at https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/RPi_Relay_Board and I am using the board to press buttons (by shorting them) on various devices”
