RE: KC868-M16v2 configure yaml for ESPhome - sanketgroup - 07-09-2025
I just got KC868-m16-v2
How do I start it configuring first?
(I do not have DHCP server, hence need to assign static IP manually)

if you want use by home assistant, please compile and download this yaml file.

From HA's ESPHome, I clicked Prepare for first use.
It does install but then since there is no wifi antenna, it cannot connect to wifi network.
I plugged CAT6 but then I am not sure what to do next?
Do I have to put those 3 files on Home Assistant before clicking " Prepare for first use" ?

I clicked on "Prepare for first use" under Home Assistant ESPHome
It completed 100%, but cannot connect to wifi since this does not have antenna.
I plugged in CAT6, but then I do not know what to do next as nothing happens after connecting CAT6.
Do I have to put those 3 files in Home Assistant folder before clicking "Prepare for first use"?

I tried with this bin file and works very well with LAN.
But then how do I make changes to yaml settings?
If I upload your updated yaml settings in this post, LAN does not work !!!

Hello,
I tested the lastest code (with external components from Git) with ESPHome version 2025.7.4 (the latest release), and I'm getting the error shown in the attached screenshot.
It appears that the ADC components are no longer working with the current version of the library.
Could you please take a look?
Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Hi,
Is there a file I can upload that works correctly with the RJ45 port?
I also see that the voltage value the card is detecting is too low. I tried changing the number from the yaml file, but it didn't work.
