see these images. Do you will install on KC868-A16 board?

I will install on KC868-A16 board as I got it from you guys.
Which antenna is for sender long or short one?
RE: K868-A16 433 RF MHz receiver - admin - 03-27-2023
long is "sender".

RE: K868-A16 433 RF MHz receiver - MnM - 12-22-2024
Hi have installed the send/receive antennas and the modules in my kincony device.
I have not added and configuration for these. However, what I have found is that after I installed the modules it kills my home garage remote. The home garage remote only works when i very close proxymity of the garage door motor (like 12 meters). Anything outside of this range it doesnt work anymore.
If I cut power to the kincony device it works normal again.
So I am wondering if there is any ESPHome configuration to adjust the power of the RF modules?
Thanks

do you use ESPHome or KCS firmware? if you are using ESPHome. maybe you have config the yaml always send RF signal.

I use ESPHome. No RF configured in ESPHome yet.
my config looks like this:

you can remove the RF sender module from KC868-A16 PCB.
RE: K868-A16 433 RF MHz receiver - MnM - 12-23-2024
Yes I know I can - but I want to use it. That is why I am asking how to configure it in ESPHome yaml and adjust the power of it.
