<p dir="auto">I put some I2C blocks together to control the 4 relays unit from M5Dial.</p>
<p dir="auto">You can find the example in the UIFlow2 cloud - Project Zone. It is called: <em>M5Dial_4RelayUnit_UIFlow2.0.1</em></p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks<br />

<p dir="auto">no worries.</p>
<p dir="auto">Well, it looks like the 4-relay-unit has not been added to the units list in UIFlow<strong>2</strong> (v2.0.1). You'll need to either wait until M5Stack engineers add it to the list or use I2C blocks to control the relays. The documentation is <a href="https://docs.m5stack.com/en/unit/4relay" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">here</a> - section Protocol.</p>
<p dir="auto">If you don't want to wait and use I2C blocks, I'd suggest you start with the I2C <code>Init</code> and <code>scan device</code> blocks to see if M5Dial can detect the 4-relay-unit.</p>
<p dir="auto">BTW: what do you mean by 1 input. The 4-relay-unit doesn't have any inputs.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks<br />
Felix</p>

Oh ok i thought it was similar to m5core2 sorry my mistake.<br />
anyway with m5core i used 4 relays via i2c.</p>
<p dir="auto"><a href="https://shop.m5stack.com/products/4-relay-unit" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">https://shop.m5stack.com/products/4-relay-unit</a></p>
<p dir="auto">How to set i2c to work in m5dial?<br />
I can't program in python, so if it could be explained in blocks in uiflow?<br />
I need to program 1 inputs and 3 relays<br />
Thank you</p>

<p dir="auto">ok, I see. Well with the M5StampS3 (board) removed there is no ESP32S3, e.g. no micro controller - all that is left is some hardware: button, rotary encoder, LCD and connectors. In other words, w/o micro controller there is nothing to control the remaining hardware.</p>
<p dir="auto">What exactly do you want to achieve with your M5Dial with M5StampS3 removed?</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks<br />

<p dir="auto">when you apply 6 - 36 V to the green DC power connector in the back M5Dial gets powered and starts to run.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks<br />
