Hi there,

I know that I'm replying to a very old post. I got a Pi5R16 - link with very similar problem - relays outputs work well "out-of-the-box" (after necessary steps of enabling i2c, configuration.yaml etc...), but digital inputs stay "silent".

After many attempts I got them working as following:
1. Positive terminal (+12V or +24V)  <--> Digital input COM pin
2. to simulate/trigger an input, short the GND (negative terminal) to a digital input pin 1-16. 

yaml
binary_sensor: 
  - platform: mcp23017 
    i2c_address: 0x20 
    invert_logic: true  
    pull_mode: NONE    
    pins: 
      00: "Digital Input 1"
      .....

Cheers!
