so download KCS v3 firmware to F8, then enable RS485 work by "MODBUS-HA" option, will be easiest way.
HomeAssistant in that house handles a lot more, not only this ESPHOME from F8. I need HA in the picture, it's very important.
Also ESPHOME on F8 is necessary because it also collects other sensors on RS485, not only the HAv2 (although right now, it only has HAv2 into rs485).
I agree that esp32 locally is a better option, but not in this project.
I've attached the yaml file we have on esphome.
