Feature Request: MQTT with HA auto discovery - please pass through Input/Output names - useful21 - 03-18-2025
Thanks for the an awesome product and the MQTT auto discover feature for Home Assistant (HA).
However, I discovered that after carefully naming my Digital Inputs and Digital Outputs inside the KinCony, via MQTT for HA and auto discover, only the generic names are published.
It would make using Home Assistant and keeping the names of each Input and Output in sync so much easier if the actual named value of the Inputs/Outputs as set in the KinCony were passed through to HA.
Feature Request
Use the actual names as set inside KinCony for sensor names for Home Assistant MQTT auto discover.
A16V3, v3.8.0, setting Input & Output names:

This would be also great for A6 and A16 boards (not only A16v3)
+ auto-discovery for Analog inputs

old version not enough memory and RAM for new function update.
