KC868-A16S configure yaml for ESPhome

Please tell me an example of the code for working with the GSM module in ESPhome (homeassistant)

ESPHome not support 4G SIM7600 moudle directly, it only support SIM800L 2G module. here is details:

Hi All,

Is there a way to use the analog inputs to control the relays, without a software solution behind?
It is working fine with Home Assistant, but for example a centralized light control it would be essential to fallback electronics only if a network outage occurs or sever is unavailable.

Thanks!

you can download KCS firmware, make IFTTT command , let analog value to control relay output. here is KCS online guide: https://www.kincony.com/esp32-kcsv2-firmware.html
then you can integrate A16S board to home assistant by MQTT, so that KCS and home assistant can work at the same time.

Thank you very much, I will check it. Or maybe code it in ESPHome like this:
Do you have any consideration?


binary_sensor:
  - platform: gpio
    name: "a16s-input1"
    pin:
      pcf8574: pcf8574_hub_in_1
      number: 0
      mode: INPUT
      inverted: true
    on_press:
      - switch.toggle: relay01

switch:
  - platform: gpio
    name: "a16s-output1"
    pin:
      pcf8574: pcf8574_hub_out_1
      number: 0
      mode: OUTPUT
      inverted: true
    id: relay01


Need to add for every channel, with a counter unique relay ID.

yes, i suggest you only use ESPHome is enough, not need to use KCS.

Can the Digital inputs be used for things other than just binary sensors?

[admin]

what function you want to use? mainly use for binary sensor type.

Hi, everytime I try to upload ESPHOME in the A16S board it shows an error while connecting through serial port. I've attached the screenshot here. Please advise. 
Also if I try to connect through LAN connections it requires OTA password. Could you please provide that too.?

take a photo, how you connected with USB-C cable.
