XL9535 I/O Expander

The XL9535 component allows you to use XL9535 I/O expander in ESPHome. It uses I²C Bus for communication.

Once configured, you can use any of the 16 available pins for your projects. Within ESPHome they emulate a real internal GPIO pin and can therefore be used with many of ESPHome’s components such as the GPIO Binary Sensor or GPIO Switch.

NOTE

This I/O Expander chip is used in the Lilygo T-RGB 2.1” Round Display
