How are you configuring A1 - A4 in ESPHome?

Can A1 be used for digital input pulse sensor?

[admin]

How are you configuring A1 - A4 in ESPHome? you can use ADC in esphome: https://esphome.io/components/sensor/adc.html
Can A1 be used for digital input pulse sensor? yes, but you need to compare a voltage. the distance wire can't be too long.

Thank you.

So, if I used a switch pulled to 12V and used ADC to detect going to 0V, that would be OK with the board hardware?

Or, could I use GPIO33 (GSMTX) and GPIO14 (GSMRX) from the P2 HMI header?

The problem is that ESPHome Pulse Counter does not work with inputs from an expander.

So, if I used a switch pulled to 12V and used ADC to detect going to 0V, that would be OK with the board hardware? no, analog input range is dc 0-5v, can't connect with dc12v.

Or, could I use GPIO33 (GSMTX) and GPIO14 (GSMRX) from the P2 HMI header? if you want use for HMI , also is ok, such as Nextion display is supported.

Hello, sorry, I'm trying to copy the yaml file for kc868-A16S S to home assistant; but in the home assistant functions, with the right button, there is no paste...there are the cut and copy commands..I can't figure out if it's my version or I have to set some parameters..thanks

[admin]

keyboard : ctrl+v to paste.

Thank you very much

Hello everyone, im new here and i recently bought KC868-A16S, i already flashed the new firmware: Software Version v2.1.9
Build Date Sep 26 2023 14:42:27 and i  can connect to Kincony Admin page and can control the output from the MONITOR.
My problem is i cannot connect the board to HOME ASSISTANT, everytime I install the yaml file this error comes:

its API related i dont know how. please help me.. =)

if you want use esphome, just config esphome yaml to download firmware, not use KCS firmware.
you can see our youtube channel esphome tour video for beginner:
