Need help choosing modules for 32-channel lighting control with Home Assistant

Yes there are, but in the mid- or long-term you would regret it. 

I went with H32B Pro, and I understood too late that the integrated relays are great for up to 7-8 amps, but anything above can fry them. I had several fried relays I had to replace, because of low-quality LED lights (search for "inrush current" for more info on this forum)

Go with boards that have larger and replaceable relays, such as the F16 or F24, or A32. They will handle high currents and will last longer. For 32 lights, the few dozen extra $$$ will not really matter. Learn from my experience Smile
