Product description: boneIO ESP Cover Mix - intelligent controller - Home Assistant/ESPHome
The boneIO ESP Cover Mix was created to conveniently manage a smaller number of roller shutters while simultaneously meeting the need to control other electrical devices in modern Smart Home systems. The controller can control up to 8 roller shutters, blinds, or other window coverings , and also offers 16 additional relay outputs for controlling lighting, garage doors, locks, circulation pumps, garden irrigation systems, and other devices with a voltage of 230 V AC and up to 30 V DC and a maximum current of up to 10 A. The outputs for the blinds are connected in pairs, responsible for up and down movement, and a hardware lock prevents the drive from operating in both directions simultaneously. Integration with Home Assistant and the open ESPHome software allows you to create advanced operating scenarios that can be dependent on the time of day, temperature, occupant presence, or sensor signals. The device is equipped with 35 digital inputs 24 V DC , allowing you to connect wall buttons, motion sensors, window contacts, and other control elements. Available communication interfaces, such as Modbus RS485, I2C, 1-Wire, and future-proof CAN , increase the system's expandability with additional sensors, measurement modules, ventilation, air conditioning, and photovoltaic systems. Local operation of the controller allows for complete control of automation and data without the need for cloud services. Thanks to its DIN rail mounting, compact 12-DIN housing, and plug-in connectors, the boneIO ESP Cover Mix is an ideal central element of an extensive system , combining the control of blinds, lighting, and other electrical devices in a single, streamlined module.
The manufacturer has prepared a comprehensive user guide that allows you to go through the configuration in Home Assistant step by step.

Cover Mix - more possibilities in one module
The boneIO ESP Cover Mix allows you to manage window coverings and other Smart Home components using a single, multifunctional controller. The device offers outputs suitable for controlling roller shutters, blinds, or awnings, while additional relay outputs can be used to control lighting, locks, pumps, solenoid valves, ventilation, and other electrical devices. The controller can replace several separate modules, streamlining the electrical distribution board and facilitating future system expansion. In practice, users can create automations that involve, for example, lowering roller shutters after dark while simultaneously turning on outdoor lighting in front of the house. Upon detecting movement in the driveway, the controller can activate lamps, open a gate, or send a signal to the alarm system. In the garden, additional outputs can control irrigation solenoid valves, and in utility rooms, a circulation pump, fan, or other scheduled device. Blinds, lights, and other devices can work together based on the time of day, occupancy, temperature, sunlight, or sensor signals. This makes Cover Mix a universal control center for installations where flexibility, ease of use and the ability to adapt the system to the user's daily needs are key.
boneIO ESP Cover Mix is particularly suitable for installations with a smaller number of roller shutters, where, in addition to controlling the blinds, it is also necessary to operate lighting, gates, pumps, solenoid valves or other Smart Home devices.
Practical automation management from the switchboard level
The boneIO ESP Cover Mix controller is powered by ESPHome software, which provides users with extensive configuration options and allows for customization of functions to individual installation needs. The open nature of the platform facilitates integration with Home Assistant and allows for the creation of a local automation system without dependence on the cloud, proprietary manufacturer solutions, or additional subscription fees. This allows all processes to be managed directly within the building, increasing independence, data security, and control over device operation. The Cover Mix model stands out by combining roller shutter control with universal relay outputs, making it ideal for applications where, in addition to window coverings, lighting, gates, solenoid valves, pumps, or other Smart Home components need to be managed. The 12-DIN housing allows for aesthetic installation in a standard electrical distribution board, while the well-thought-out connector layout simplifies cable management, configuration, and subsequent maintenance. This allows the boneIO ESP Cover Mix to serve as a practical control center for both home and more advanced building automation systems.
