My notes:
reading of inputs: works reasonably well right now. I did create my own implementation (based on golang) that basically just polls the states of the switches continuously and pushes out any change as an MQTT event -- processed directly by home assistant. The polling implementation works on the background and eats about 5-10% CPU (still tolerable, might still be improved), switch behavior feels instantaneous for me.
writing outputs: my implementation is also able to again translate incoming MQTT events into toggle outputs. Here, you don't need to poll directly (the MQTT handler itself is able to deal with that). Alternatively, you could look into home assistant modbus, to send a modbus command directly from home assistant. My implementation completely sidesteps the whole modbus translation phase, so if you'd be using it for reading, writing would make sense as well.
pushing out DALI commands: I did receive my axons S605 not that long ago, been fiddling with it, see https://forum.unipi.technology/topic/966/dali-interface-integration-in-python-dali . I have the feeling support for this product is still in its infancy, as well as the python-dali library it depends on. If I would have some more low-level documentation on it, I would very much like to take the development on this to a higher level!
If you'd like more input on how to use the unipitt binaries, and you feel a bit tech-savvy yourself, I'd be happy to help you set it up. That way, I can improve the project to make it more robust a portable for other interested users.
