About this item
The PIMORONI Automation HAT is a feature-rich expansion board designed to bring industrial-grade automation capabilities to your Raspberry Pi. Ideal for home automation, industrial control, and monitoring applications, this HAT packs a powerful combination of relays, analog inputs, powered outputs, and buffered inputs, all of which are 24V tolerant—making it perfect for interfacing with a wide range of devices and sensors.With the Automation HAT, you can control motors, lights, pumps, or other high-voltage equipment, while also monitoring analog signals from sensors like temperature probes, pressure sensors, or potentiometers. Its three relays allow switching of higher-current loads, while the three buffered inputs safely detect external voltage signals. You also get three open-drain outputs, capable of powering devices up to 500mA. An ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) reads analog signals with precision.Compatible with all 40-pin Raspberry Pi models, and supported by a friendly Python library, it’s easy to integrate into your automation project. Whether you're building a smart greenhouse, a robotic system, or a remote monitoring station, the Automation HAT provides reliable and flexible control.
