I´m trying to explain it more clearly:

I want six entities to Home Assistant (with ESPHome) wich can turn on/off KC868-HA D1-D6-outputs
And six entities that will show input K1-K6 state

1. I want six entities to Home Assistant (with ESPHome) wich can turn on/off KC868-HA D1-D6-outputs --->This i think can do.
2. And six entities that will show input K1-K6 state ---> in home asisstant can't show K1-K6 state for "ON/OFF", only can get a message from key is pressed, i don't know do you understand me?

2. Messages will be fine, I can convert them to actions what I need. Can you assist how to add this to ESPHome?

Hi,
This board is amazing! What kind of power supply necessary? 12V A?
Is there any restriction how many KC868-HA can be connected to one RS485 prort? I have KC868-A16S can I control all 16 relays with 3 or more boards?

RE: KC868-HA RS485 Button Adapter Released - admin - 08-23-2023

1. suggest use DC12v, 1A or 500mA is enough
2. if use by A16S, MAX support 30pcs KC868-HA in one bus. 3pcs for A16 no problem.
