KC868-HA can be used with KC868-A8S module?
What is the type of communication over RS485.
Do you have some sample Arduino IDE code to use the KC868-HA button module.
My Next Question.
How the digital inputs on the KC868-HA button module are used in cooperation with the KC868-H32B Pro, how they are displayed in Homekit with the firmware downloaded from the kincony website.
Can I use one module of buttons with relay and one module as Digital input example motion detect?

1. if DIYers want to use the RS485 adapter board with own ESP32 code, in furture, we will make a protocol document about it. it's private RS485 protocol.
2. if you controlled H32B Pro's relay ON/OFF by any way, not only by RS485, but also RS232, network http, mqtt, tcp, just relay state changed, it will update state to Apple Homekit app's ico.
3. sure, you can also use for dry contact sensor, set INPUT type = "Momentary".
when use for "Momentary", trigger relay by "down level" signal, if use for "Latch", trigger relay both by "down level" and "up level" signal

no, not by ESP32 chip, it's too big, we use small CPU, so that can let size small , suitable for install into wall switch.

do you offer esp32 boards for sale, maybe you will think about releasing some firmware for the Kc868-ha button module operating on the modbus protocol to implement it with very good ESP32 boards, e.g. KC868-a8s

we will open KC868-HA protocol later and make ESP32 arduino demo source code for it. sure, such as KC868-A8S work with KC868-HA's demo code.

when, I already bought one device (KC868-HA) with the thought of integration with KC868-A8S

ok. Thanks,
How I can expand input Analog/Digital interfaces(contactron, motion sensor, temperature sensor) in KC868-H32B Pro

6 channel input for KC868-H32B Pro is digital input, use by dry contact signal.
