The Automation Server, Reimagined
The FeedCurrent / KinCony Pi5 Series combines a full Linux computer (Raspberry Pi CM5) with industrial‑grade I/O in a single DIN‑rail enclosure. Choose between R Series with mechanical relays (ideal for AC loads and high‑current switching) or M Series with solid‑state MOSFET outputs (perfect for silent, high‑frequency DC switching and PWM dimming). All models run Home Assistant, Node‑RED, Docker, or custom Linux applications locally – no cloud dependency, no monthly fees.
💡 Ideal for: smart home hubs, building automation, industrial control, and any project that requires both powerful computing and direct hardware interfacing.
Six Models, One Platform
Each Pi5 model shares the same powerful CM5 core, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI 2.0, USB 3.0, RS232/RS485, and 4 analog inputs. Choose the channel count and output type that fits your project.
