Rpi4, no relays and IOs?

I'm sorry if this is already documented, but I just realized that I don't have the relays and IO menus in the Venus anymore. My rpi3 burned recently and I had to replace with a v4.
I can't find anything about it. Is there something needed to have them available?

There is probably no /etc/venus/gpio_list file (or it's empty).

I have a setup script that deals with this:

You need SetupHelper for this script to work:

I assume you have an I/O board of some kind. That may also need to be configured.

Thanks for your help Kevin. I'm starting to think that it is intentional. If one tries to install the stock gpio node in node-red, it automatically gets deactivated.
That seems to be caused by missing components on the SO for driving the ports as it is registered in the log.
