set the threshold value for every sensor in KCS sensor webpage.
so that will auto update to mqtt message when tempetature changed value.

Yes, that was 1st thing to do, unfortunately without preogress.
Honestly, I did not update firmware recently, perhaps that can be an issue.. ? it is still on v2.2.2

Hello again,
Firmware updated, unfortunately, now it does not communicate at all with HA.
All credentials are set (user, pass, IP, port) but no luck.
I used v2.2.14, several times downloading stopped due to comm error, can be a cable or something else, but process was finished, everything else is working except MQTT :-)

Somehow message appears in listen mode, but sporadic, not constant communication. only for Output_1
RE: how to integrate KC868-A8 to home assistant by MQTT - ags.servis - 10-05-2025
Solved,
Stupid mistake in IP, it should be with mqtt://. :-)
Thanks, everything works fine now !
RE: how to integrate KC868-A8 to home assistant by MQTT - admin - 10-05-2025

I followed your presentation at the beginning of this treat. For the setting in the kincony part,I could follow all steps.
Unfortunately when you switch to the homeassistant screen, I cannot follow it anymore. I cannot not find the board in the ' entity' and the left part op the screen in empty. I cannot find the file configuration.yaml.
Which step I forgot ?
RE: how to integrate KC868-A8 to home assistant by MQTT - admin - 12-13-2025
take a photo or video of your problem.
