Complete Home Assistant configuration.yaml with yaml anchor for mqtt integration A16 - korl - 04-16-2026
Hello everyone,
I see many people asking for configuration.yaml for A16, A6..etc.
Every person is spending time, building their own yaml-file.
Could you just provide a complete template for each board (A16, A6), that combines all switches, binary_sensors, ADCs, DACs, Temperature sensors... in one text block, combines as one device (with yaml anchor) ready to copy into Home Assistant configuration.yaml?
I think it would make the boards more attractive, if there is an easier start for integration.
Does anyone want to share their configuration.yaml?
Best wishes

here are yaml file:
KC868-A16: https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1628
KC868-A6: https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1963
because different sensor will have different config code. so we mainly have prepared digital input and digital output.
about ADC and DAC, you can check at here: https://www.kincony.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=54
if you use new version, A16v3 or A6v3 PCB, that support KCS v3 firmware, it's easy integrate to home assistant for all hardware resource by MQTT auto discovery. You don't need to config for any code.

Thank you for your quick reply.
You showed yaml configurations in case ESPHome is used.
I am looking for the code to add to configuration.yaml, in case the KCS firmware is used and the Boards A16 and A6 are communicating via MQTT.
