thanks share your config code.

Hello, good evening. What changes should I make in the code so that they appear as lights instead of switches? (I want to avoid doing the configuration in homeassistant through helpers).

ESP32 IoT Board Issue with ESPHome Firmware Installation

Overview

I am experiencing issues with my new kc868-e16s board after installing custom esphome firmware. The board was expected to connect to a LAN via DHCP and control several relays, but it is currently not functioning as expected.

Environment

• Board: kc868-e16s
  
• Firmware: ESPHome
  
• Operating System: Fedora (Linux)
  
• Connection: USB to laptop
  

Issue Description

After successfully uploading the firmware:

1. The Ethernet port does not establish a link and fails to obtain a DHCP lease.
   
2. The physical buttons do not trigger the corresponding relays.
   

Prior Status

The board previously had the default firmware and was able to obtain a DHCP lease. However, the relays did not function through the web UI.

Steps Taken

1. Created and validated ESPHome YAML configuration.
   
2. Uploaded the firmware to the board.
   
3. Observed no Ethernet link and non-functioning relays.
   

Supporting Information

• YAML Configuration: Provided below.
  
• dmesg Output: Shows successful USB connection and removal post-firmware upload.
  
• ESPHome Validation: Confirms successful configuration validation.
  
• ESPHome Upload: Indicates successful firmware upload.
  
• Board Power Supply: 24v DC.

can you download KCS firmware for a testing? just make sure hardware is OK.
here is online guide: https://www.kincony.com/esp32-kcsv2-firmware.html
another thing, after you download firmware, do you have re power on of your board?

I am able to install the firmware `KCS_KC868_A16S_V2.2.2.bin` with your tool

I have to power cycle the board for the lan to start working and ping the board.

From the web UI, I did not see a way to test the relays, but I can confirm the ethernet port is working.

For now I have my source for the yaml public in github in a branch at:  Link to yaml file on github

Which is still in the same state as what I posted.

I created a README.md for the steps I have take to flash the board with the compile firmware at Steps I took to flash my custom firmware

I also attempted to flash my custom firmware with your windows tool; which had the same failed result as my developement environment.
