LIN on RJ12 and GND/12V+ source? Pimoroni Automation HAT? about inetbox.py HOT 5 CLOSED

Yes, LIN is the only line that is used from the RJ12 connector. GND and 12V can come from any other source. I use the same source that powers the Raspberry Pi (before conversion to 5V, obviously).

Pins 14 & 15 are directly available on the screw terminals of the Automation HAT.

from inetbox.py.

I'm using Raspberry Pi OS. But since the pins on Automation HAT are directly connected to Pins 14 and 15 on the Pi, it does not matter whether you have the Automation HAT software installed or not. You don't need it for this software package to work.

The marked pins are the correct ones.

Do you run Home Assistant OS or Raspberry Pi OS on your RPi?

Since I have Home Assistant OS on my RPi 4, I cannot install the Pimoroni tools (at least at the moment, I would not know how). HAOS at least offers the "AppDaemon" add-on, by which I could run your Python code.

Can I nevertheless access/use these 2 pins directly, i.e. without Pimoroni's Automation HAT package installed, or should I go for plain Raspberry Pi OS instead? (which would also be fine for me)

And before I break something: Are the 2 highlighted screw terminals the correct ones?

Many thanks for your patience with me! 😃

@7wells : you mentioned that you used AppDaemon for Homeassistant. At the moment I'm using a separate pi because of the inconvenience of the supervised install method. Can you share your AppDaemon config? How do you install packages with pip in the AppDaemon sandbox? Thx!

Hello! Sorry, I have completely dropped HA, as all installation methods were a pain in the back for me. Now I am back to plain Raspberry Pi OS and will more look into MQTT and Node-Red.
