KC868-a6 Relay switches - icemannz - 01-08-2025
Hi, I have a KC868-a6 board and it is up and running with ESPHome.
I can control all the relays via Home Assistant without issue.
What I would like to do is also have manual switches mounted on the box so I can switch a relay on or off.
I thought that grounding the DI-1 through 6 pins were for this but they don't appear to work that way.
Is there a way to connect up 6 small switches to the board to allow for manual switching if the relays ?

sure, you can connect switch button with digital input ports. But you should config ESPHome yaml , let INPUT toggle OUTPUT. you can check with ESPHome guide.

I managed to track down the Yaml code required and now it works great,
Thanks for the pointer.
