Connecting multiple sensors through i2C multiplexer TCA9548A

Hello
I want to use multiple sensors with the TCA9548A.
Can this IC be used as in the picture I added below?
tca9548a

Isn't that what the IC is designed for?

In the examples, they connected one device to each channel. I want to connect multiple devices to each channel.

Do the multiple devices have different bus addresses? As shown in the diagram? If so, then the answer is yes, you can do that.

Yes, Each device can have multiple addresses.

Yes, that will work.

The tricky part, depending on your level of coding experience, might be writing your code without it becoming 16 times longer than it needs to be. If you find yourself copying and pasting sections of code, or declaring variables with names like sensor1, sensor2, sensor3 etc, then ask for advice on this topic.
