not suggest use by this way. the current is low, not suitable for extend LED.

Could you use it to power something like an LM3909 (if you can still find one), which draws something like 0.5mA?

Augment serial hardware capabilities by leveraging an LTC2873 single-bus RS-485/RS-232 multiprotocol transceiver with switchable termination by Analog Devices or similar.  Such chips offer multiprotocol support on a single serial port.  I developed a simple Arduino driver (attached - this is a few years old) for the LTC2873 (DC2364A evaluation board) with RS-485/RS-232/SDI-12 serial protocol capabilities.  I no longer use Arduino and recently implemented SDI-12 with the ESP-IDF framework; a ported SDI-12 serial protocol example in beta form using the DC2364A evaluation board and ESP32-S3 is available here.

In addition, consider ADC support for single-ended or differential measurements with variable and configurable DC excitation voltages i.e. 250mV, 500mV, 1V, 10V.  This would offer support for a wider array of sensors and sensors that require half-bridge or full-bridge support i.e. load cell.

I would love to see the HA2 485 module be able to use dimming function over 485 , e.g. hold to dim up or dim down

HAv2 with which dimmer controller?

For dimmer module KC868-D16 or newer

HAv2 will support new dimmer board - KinCony DM16 dimmer controller in future.

I use the KC868-AP PWM Dimmer to control my RGBW LED lamps, an RS485 sensor, and one relay device. It would be great to add 0–10V outputs to it, if possible. It would also be great to replace the plastic cover with an aluminum one.

now the version DM16 controller is released, it's aluminum case.

Yes, the DM16 looks very good to me, and I’m going to buy it to control my fan motors using 0–10V. However, the DM16 doesn’t have a PWM driver, so I still need PWM support for my RGBW LED lamps.
I can use two devices — the KC868-AP and the DM16 — but it would be great to have the KC868-AP with an aluminum case. It will look better in my power distribution box.

Or maybe you plan to replace the KC868-AP with a new device that has a PWM driver?
