HATs and other add-ons • Re: 230v input signal HAT

We found a HAT with 230v inputs, but we need to check whether you can connect live and neutral straight to it as an endpoint or if it just reads the live power supply as it passes through; we haven't spoken to an electrician yet.

I looked at the product website. In the "Description" section it first states:
Drive 8A/240VAC loads and read 3V to 240V, AC or DC, opto-isolated inputs for all your Home or Industrial Automation Projects
Then a few lines later it says:
The optically isolated universal inputs can read AC or DC signals from 3V to 48V. The input connectors have a low voltage port which can read signals between 3V and 24V, and a high voltage port which can read signals between 24V and 48V.
240V or 48V?

The second quote sounds much more reasonable than the first. I must say that if they can't get the documentation right, it doesn't inspire much confidence in the product.
The silkscreening on the product says the 2 ranges are 3-24V or 48-240V - https://sequentmicrosystems.com/cdn/sho ... 1680288855 Agreed though that the docs not matching the product isn't a great place to be.

I wouldn't trust that PCB design around mains voltages though - the track separation looks far too small.
