RS485. Maybe its the wrong method, but I would like to make them communicate even when the network might be down. 1 can be connected straight to a HA server.

ok, if you want to add 4pcs A16 board on one modbus , just need to add "modbus_controller_id", here is example of use 2pcs A16 board:
modbus_controller:
- id: a16a
address: 1
modbus_id: modbus1
update_interval: 3s
modbus_controller:
- id: a16b
address: 1
modbus_id: modbus1
update_interval: 3s
switch:
- platform: modbus_controller
modbus_controller_id: a16a
name: 'modbus-switch1'
address: 0 # 0:relay1 1:relay2 ......
register_type: coil
bitmask: 1
- platform: modbus_controller
modbus_controller_id: a16b
name: 'modbus-switch1'
address: 0 # 0:relay1 1:relay2 ......
register_type: coil
bitmask: 1
