Esphome invalid config KC-868 A8 - Lory - 12-09-2024
In KC-868 A8 in EspHome I have problems setting up the switch component.
I want that when I press digital Input#1 then relay #1 Toggles.
PCF8574 I/O Expander uses I2C Bus to set IDs, probably that is why the YAML validator don't recognizes the ID of light1? I don't know.
I know I can link the inputs and the relays in HomeAssistant, but I want the logic to be coded in the board so It still works if Internet brokes.
I also know that KCS firmware allows that requirement, but I am looking for an EspHome solution.
Thank you

you should add "id" option, here is sample code for KC868-A8S, but the INPUT trigger OUTPUT as same way.

ok, good.
RE: Esphome invalid config KC-868 A8 - MariusM - 12-10-2024
Can I configure 868 server via mqtt to toggle specific output ?
Example:
switch output 3 - toggle
Switch output 2 - on/of
I have at the moment configuration with on/of but I would like to toggle some output switches.
RE: Esphome invalid config KC-868 A8 - admin - 12-10-2024
sure, it's ok.
RE: Esphome invalid config KC-868 A8 - MariusM - 12-12-2024
Can you help with a hint of how to do that?
RE: Esphome invalid config KC-868 A8 - admin - 12-13-2024
1. config KC868-Server's digital input ports work as BINARY SENSOR in home assistant by MQTT.
2. create AUTOMATION in home assistant set the ACTION for ON/OFF/TOGGLE.

- I have 16 lights in my apartment that are controlled with 2 KC-868 A8 boards. After approximately 20 minutes both boards reboot and all lights switch off, then I have to press the switches on again to have light.
Steps I tried:
- Review the EspHome config file. I don't see anything strange, Probably I am using a non recommended gpio that makes the trouble?
- Power supply review, I changed the power supply and connected to different sources but the problem persists. Is strange that both boards reboot at the same exact moment...
I appreciate some expert advice. Thanks
RE: Esphome invalid config KC-868 A8 - admin - 02-17-2025
i suggest you download our KCS v2 firmware for a testing. just to check whether the software problem or hardware problem.
