I want to add more relays to the Cerbo GX to control external devices. Which solution could work for me (and the Cerbo GX / Node-RED flow)?

Additional relays with Cerbo GX
Are you switching AC or DC loads?
Easy ones for AC are Shelley relays. You can use sonoff ones as well.
Shelley sounds great, are these easy to integrate into Cerbo GX?
@Marc Fritschi some Shelley's are easier than others
I have the Shelley Pro 4PM, I use it more for monitoring
the electric fire is on switch 0
the tumble dryer on switch 1
my cascading MP 48/1600 invertor on switch 2
the lower socket (garage heater) on switch 3
and the flow looks like this
and my Gui looks like this
the best part is that I can automatically switch the Fire, switch 0, off and on again, to stop mother turning it up after the sun has gone down :)
the lower socket (garage heater) on switch 3 goes on and off based on air temp from a RuuviTag next to my batteries
and that looks like this
I believe some of the Shelleys can also switch DC loads... but I have never done that.
hope this helps you
@Marc Fritschi
how familiar are you with node red ?
if you need more, once you have your Shelley installed and ready to go
give me a shout, I am happy to help
any tuya devices used locally
