The problem is it shows up as one device, and has all the entities underneath that

Ok?

#

Are you saying it's one single device for all the boards?

#

If so, did you ensure that each board has a unique name/ID?

Essentially if you navigate to the relay board device in the esphome integration in HA, under controls it just lists all the 24 entities in a not very usable order. I would like them to be essentially their own devices with the 3 entities that correspond to them. Ideally labled pump 1, pump 2, etc.

Then when I go to my automations I would be able to select the device called pump 1 and tell it what i want it to do.

If they've got different names/identities then they should show up separately in Devices

Yeah, and the relay boards will have different names/ids, but the pump that each relay controls is really the thing that i want to be a "device" in HA

#

for our purposes we can focus on just the single board for now.

The board is the only thing that's going to be the device, in HA terms

Only if you're going to create your own custom version of the ESPHome integration
