Waveshare ESP32‑S3 Relay 6CH is an industrial‑grade relay control board designed for IoT, automation, and smart home applications. Powered by the ESP32‑S3 dual‑core processor, it supports Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth LE, and an onboard isolated RS485 interface for reliable communication with Modbus devices. The board integrates six high‑quality relays (≤10A 250VAC / 30VDC) with optocoupler and digital isolation, ensuring safe and stable operation even in demanding environments. A 40‑pin Pico HAT compatible header allows expansion with modules such as RTC, CAN, RS232, or LoRa, while the rail‑mounted ABS case provides secure installation. With wide voltage input (7–36V), USB Type‑C for programming, and built‑in indicators, this module offers a flexible and dependable solution for industrial and AIoT projects. Key Features High‑Performance MCU — ESP32‑S3, Xtensa® 32‑bit LX7 dual‑core @ 240 MHz with AI computing capabilities and encryption. Wireless & Wired Connectivity — Integrated 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi + Bluetooth 5 LE; onboard isolated RS485 port. 6 Quality Relays — Contact rating ≤ 10 A 250 VAC / 30 V DC; direct control of high‑voltage appliances or DC loads. Industrial‑Grade Isolation — Power isolation, optocoupler isolation, and digital signal isolation for enhanced safety. Pico HAT Expansion — 40‑pin header compatible with Raspberry Pi Pico HATs (add RTC, CAN, RS232, LoRa, sensors, etc.).
