Just by curiosity, are you using the UPS for a solar setup?
I can try to give some answers, but I can't give assurance that the system will work.
I see the description of the used PIN used, for some strange reason, all the GPIO pins with exception of the I2C go to the Relay1 of the automation hat. For sure you could not use the Relay1 and attach relay board to it.
On the SW side you should remove all the lines in the hardwaresetting relevant to the GPIO5,6,12,13.
At this poin we can hope that the Hydrosys4 SW and the UPS SW will not interfere each other.
For the I2C unfortunately from the description we can see that it is not just used for the clock but also for battery system, so they cannot just be cut out.
The hydrosys4 activates the I2C clock, i tested and like the DS3231, but it might also work with other RTC like the 1307 (unfortunately I do not have it otherwise I would give a quick test).
So I'd first try with the 1307 and remove the DS3231. This might work just out of the box.
As said, cannot be sure the two systems work properly together until somebody test it.
If you buy that board, I suggest to first test it without the Hydrosys4 , so you can assess how it works without potential interference.
Hope it was of some help.
If you implement it Would be glad if you provide some feedback.
As I recall the BME280 has possibility to have two addresses 0x76 or 0x77, so it is not possible to connect 5 of them directly. Probably it will be possible by adding some hardware but I have no experience about it.
thx for reply and sorry for my stupid question. i must say that the real reason for this stupid question was actually my laziness... it will not happen again:) but now i am trying to apply ups board x728 v1.3. it uses for communication and etc pins 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 29, 31, 32, 33. it uses rtc DS1307. from the past, i have DS3231 on autom.hat v10.3. and now question, should i better take off rtc 3231 from the hat and please you for adding support rtc1307, or if there is a way to "cut out" 1307 from ups, do it this way? to make it clear, i am 100% beginer and the reason to start dealing with rpi was your great system. thank you for that and for your work given for free to everyone. i´ve bought on tindie your products and with them as a absolute lama succesfully started managing "my waterflow in the greenhouse" :) but with x728 i am little bit worry that without one's help i can't get it working. thx for any usefull ideas.
