KC868-H32B Pro with Home Assistant - titan - 04-07-2024
Hi,
I would like to integrate devices connected to my KC868 H32B Pro with Home Assistant, which is installed on a separate x86 server configured to support automations across many Zigbee (via ZHA) and WiFi devices. However I'm at a loss for the best way to integrate the KC868 H32B Pro with this HA instance. There seems to be a few options that are discussed in other threads:
1. Install Home Assistant on a Kincony Raspberry Pi server, which mine is not
2. Use Tuya - I'm reluctant to do because I want to do everything via LAN only
3. ESPHome - instructions I've found seem to indicate that I need to first physically connect the KC868 H32B Pro to the HA instance via USB. As they are physically far apart, I was hoping to avoid this.
4. Use MQTT - I have not installed MQTT hoping to be able to use ESPHome wirelessly
Any suggestions on how I should do this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much in advance.

KC868-H32B Pro integrate to home assistant by MQTT is best.

Thank you very much for the response.
Would it be possible to connect H32B Pro via ESPHome instead? If so, how could I do this?
Thank you again.

no, KC868-H32B Pro not support ESPHome, if you want use ESPHome, you can chose KinCony A32 Pro controller, that made by ESP32-S3 chip, so that can use ESPHome.
