yes, i understand you. make I2C pcb for extend is no problem, my means is I2C board not suggest use for long wire connect with A8/A8S.
another way, do you have seen S1,S2,S3,S4 that also can use for INPUT, use by dry contact sensor. you will have another 4 channel of DI.

How to use S1,S2,S3,S4 for dry contact sensor in ESPHome?

Hi Kincony Admin
I'm going back to the subject of the input expansion board. The new product KC868-A8M has an additional (detachable) manual control button panel.
In a similar way, you can try to create a board with input extensions and connect it to the I2C port. The mainboards of KC868-A devices are the same size, have the same holes in the same places, so you can create a universal expansion board for all models.
What do you think abou it?
Best Regards
macek

because if use by I2C extend board, the cable can't long, only <10cm is better. so we not suggest to use I2C extend way for extend GPIO by cable.

Hello everyone. I recently bought 2 kc868-a8 and I'm using them with EspHome.
I have a trouble concerning the analog input!
Admin says:
DS18B20/DHT11/21-1: 14
DS18B20/DHT11/21-2: 13
const int DI9 = 36
const int DI10 =39
but i used the following code to use A8-S4 input:
binary_sensor:
- platform: gpio
name: "a8-s4"
pin:
number: 33
inverted: true
on_press:
- switch.turn_off: something
- switch.turn_off: something_else
so, my question is: which number I will use for 3 other analog input?
Regards
