Good day.
I am currently using a 4 channel relay HAT on my PI (thanks to this site). I see that its possible to use 6 relay. my Question is, will there be support for the 8 channel relay board?
Thank you
Ben

There are a couple of community projects to use a relay module connected to a USB port for up to 6 relays (I think). One is:
https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/245584/remotegpio-ex-venus-rgpio-now-available-with-setup.html
Note that this modification also needs GuiMods for the relay control page.
Victron's mvader mentioned in another thread that they have plans to implement relay expansion in the stock firmware. No timeframe or other details given.
The module used in the RemoteGPIO project can also connect via ethernet or WiFi but that implementation only uses Modbus-RTU RS-485 via a USB adapter.
Additional resources still need to be added for this topic
