My Raspberry Pi Asterisk PABX has 10 relays connected to the GPIO pins using one of these cheap Chinese boards.

A further two pins can be used for doorbells or alarm inputs

It was an interesting exercise when I did it in 2017 but although the code is still in place on my system I have not found a use for it other than its own novelty.
likewise, rambo. I'must have fitted hundreds of 308/616/1232 and other types of Panasonics using the doorinterface and never had a problem( not with the electrics). Woodworking, we left to carpenters. our PSU of choice was a bell transformer. I can't remember what Panasonic suggested on the 308 course. What we did spot in Panasonic HQ was a box con 201 with no lid.
