SB Components Home Automation HAT for Raspberry Pi

Transform your Raspberry Pi into the brain of your smart home with the SB Components Home Automation HAT. This high-quality add-on board empowers you to safely and easily automate and control mains-powered appliances, bridging the gap between low-voltage computing and high-power devices with ease and security.

At its core, the HAT utilises two robust relays, each capable of switching substantial loads. You can control up to two independent devices, supporting loads of 7A at 250V AC or 10A at 30V DC, making it suitable for a wide range of household and DIY automation projects. Critical safety is provided by photo-coupling isolation (optocouplers), which electrically separates the sensitive Raspberry Pi circuitry from the high-voltage side, ensuring safe operation when controlling mains electricity.

The board is designed for hassle-free integration. It features a standard 40-pin stacking GPIO header for a secure and easy connection to your Raspberry Pi model 2, 3, 4, or Zero. Screw terminal blocks are provided for each relay, offering a reliable and secure connection for your appliance wiring. Clear onboard LEDs indicate power status and the active state of each relay, while a jumper allows for flexibility in selecting the relay control pins.
