16B mqtt yaml file config how to - itzek - 05-24-2025
Hello admin,
I have the B16 ESP32-S3 controller and I want to connect it to Home Assistant using a regular mqtt configuration (not using MQTT (For Home Assistant)).
This is what I'm trying, but it's not working:
- name: " output-1 "
unique_id: output-1
state_topic: ' relay16/DCDA0C8B9B5C/state'
command_topic: ' relay16/DCDA0C8B9B5C/set'
payload_on: '{"relay1":{"on":1}}'
payload_off: '{"relay1":{"on":0}}'
value_template: '{{ value_json.relay1.on }}'
state_on: 1
state_off: 0
Can you give me an example of the configuration?

the topic is wrong, if you downloaded KCS v3 firmware, see this mqtt protocol document:

So the correct syntax is this:
- name: "output-1"
unique_id: "output-1"
command_topic: KC868_B16/DCDA0C8B9B5C/set
state_topic: KC868_B16/DCDA0C8B9B5C/state
payload_on: '{"output01":{"value":true}}'
payload_off: '{"output01":{"value":false}}'
value_template: '{{ value_json.output01.on }}'
state_on: 1
state_off: 0
If so it still doesn't work

take a photo of your KCS webpage -- protocol, if you enabled mqtt protocol, webpage will showed topic. your topic is wrong.
B16/DCDA0C8B9B5C/set
B16/DCDA0C8B9B5C/state
i suggest see the webpage of "protocol".
RE: 16B mqtt yaml file config how to - itzek - 05-25-2025
On the protocol page it appears as you mentioned B16,
Regarding the on and off commands it should be like in the example?
payload_on: '{"output01":{"value":true}}'
payload_off: '{"output01":{"value":false}}'
value_template: '{{ value_json.output01.on }}'
state_on: 1
state_off: 0
or like this
payload_on: '{"relay1":{"on":1}}'
payload_off: '{"relay1":{"on":0}}'
value_template: '{{ value_json.relay1.on }}'
state_on: 1
state_off: 0

Code:
switch:
- name: 'b16-output-1'
unique_id: b16-output-1
state_topic: 'B16/08F9E08B1F58/STATE'
command_topic: 'B16/08F9E08B1F58/SET'
payload_on: '{"output1":{"value":true}}'
payload_off: '{"output1":{"value":false}}'
value_template: '{{ value_json.output1.value }}'
state_on: true
state_off: falseRE: 16B mqtt yaml file config how to - itzek - 05-26-2025
