TCA6408 ESPHome Component

Full-featured custom component for the TCA6408 8-bit I²C I/O Expander.

Features

• 8 bidirectional GPIO pins
• Hardware polarity inversion (inputs)
• Interrupt-driven inputs (active-low)
• Polling fallback
• Cached GPIO expander (efficient)
• Works on ESP32 (incl. C5), ESP8266, etc.

Installation

Copy the tca6408 folder into your ESPHome project's custom_components/ directory.
