KC868-A16 home assistant - guycaluwaerts - 12-22-2025

board KC868-a16 V1.7
software Kincony V2.2.18

I have connected the board with home assitant using mqtt broker.
Now I can see all 16 inputs and  16 outputs.

When I want to create an automation or a scene, I cannot select an input ( indicated as' bineray sensor' in homeassistant. How can I select this binary sensor to trigger an automation ?

Second question. In the Kincony software I can select for an input 'single click, double click, hold on, .... etc'. Can this information also send to homeassistant ? Now I only see for these inputs only ON or OFF

i suggest you create scene by KCS firmware IFTTT, so that if home assistant broken, it also can work.
if you MUST want create AUTOMATION by home assistant, it's also ok. Just check in your home assistant AUTOMATION setting.
'single click, double click, hold on, .... etc' it use by KCS firmware.
