Victron VenusOS & Raspberry Pi| Install Relay Board and setup | 3 Relays | Part II

Cerbo GX does allow you to connect Relays and use automations to trigger them. Since the Raspberry Pi is limited to its USB interfaces I want to try a Relay Board to connect to the Raspberry Pi and see if it works with VenusOS and what we need to configure. This second Relay board allows to pass through the pins and still use them for different reasons like connecting a housing fan.


Copy & Paste Commands:

Relay 1 / GPIO 26
26 out relay_1

Relay 2 / GPIO 20
20 out relay_2

Relay 3 / GPIO 21
21 out relay_3
