Hi, thanks for Your help.
I managed to connect the KC868-A16 board to Assistant using two methods:
1) KC868-A16 with KCS v2.2.18 via MQTT (code in the configuration.yaml file).
2) KC868-A16 via ESPHome (uploading the generated firmware).
Now I'd like to move on to further integration. So, if I chose the KC <-> HA connection method via MQTT, can I transfer/exchange information from other inputs/outputs/protocols? For example, temperature (DS18B20) or MODBUS RS485? I'd like to know how to go about this (will it also involve entries in the configuration.yaml file?), and whether such information can be synchronized using this method.
I was thinking that it might be a good idea to change the subject of the post to something like: "KC868-A16 with KCS integration with Home Assistant." What do You think?
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
