Part 2 of 2 - How to Expand Tasmota/Sonoff Devices with the i2c protocol.  Adding the powerful MCP23017 Chip to expand your ESP8266 device with 16 additional input/output pins.  We cover a few scenarios of advanced rules with the chip combined with rules for publishing other sensors to MQTT.

Our first part of the I2C (I²C) sensor expansion with Tasmota. Add multiple sensors with minimal GPIO pin usage with a wide array of sensors on the market.  Add additional GPIO pins, LUX, Humidity, Pressure, Gas, Etc.

Two switches shown in the video: Martin Jerry Switch Martin Jerry Dimmer Did a rather short (sarcasm) live stream showing the process to break open the smart switch, identify features, flash tasmota, setup the template, etc. It was my first time doing this switch model and first time doing the real live stream. I also showed the bonus of the very cool new dimmer switch I've been working with on and off. It's very close and works out of the box right now as it is with a few Tasmota rules. Had a lot of fun and let me know if you'd like to see more of these (hopefully shorter next time!)
