KC868-A16 rev1.6 firmware

[maurus44]

Hello,
I am currently using a Raspberry Pi 4 with Home Assistant installed.
I am working with a Kincony controller and would like to integrate it with Home Assistant.
My main goal is to:

• Monitor the state of Kincony inputs (digital inputs)
  
• Monitor the state of Kincony outputs (relays)
  
• Control/change the state of the outputs directly from Home Assistant
  

At the moment, I am not sure what is the best way to achieve this (e.g., MQTT or another method), and I am also unsure how to correctly set it up so that both input and output states are visible and controllable in Home Assistant.
I would really appreciate any guidance, examples, or documentation.
Thank you in advance!
