Hi team!
I have a smart home running with Home Assistant for quite some time. To automate all the lights, I created a central hub where all lights connect on my breaker panel (as the picture shows). I went with a very simple setup, using a Sonoff Basic flashed with Tasmota for each light switch. It works! But it is not great, and some relays are starting to fail. Also, buying new ones and flashing them with Tasmota is a little bit of a hassle. I wanted something better like a multiple channel relay. And that's when I recently saw KinCony!
It seems perfect to what I need. But there are so many board options available that I'm a little confused of which one to get. I want something that is reliable and safe, to be used in a DIN rail with up to 16 channels. Integration with Home Assistant is a must, but from what I saw, all boards support ESP Home. So what kind of board do you guys recommend? I saw that there were cheaper and more expensive ones, but I did not get the difference between them.
Thanks a lot!
