Help - Did I Buy The Wrong Device

[shrub100]

if you want directly to use, without any config and setting. you can chose KC102, that use by Tuya app.
here is video tour: https://youtu.be/G-o2piyGoiU
if you want, we can send you this KC102. play with it.

Thanks for the offer but KC102 does not have RF and I need RF. I already have one of these: LINK but every button of my devices appears in home assistant as a scene, plus it is reliant on the web to operate and I would prefer something within my own network.

With regard to the KC868-AG are you being overly polite and maybe i just need to be told that this device is really for advanced users who understand coding of hardware like this? I guess if it was easy to get working you would have provided a YAML conifg and maybe some instructions to get it working....but it seems like you think this is too much of an undertaking for someone like me who is familiar with coding, but by no means an expert in esphome conifguration.

I did have another go - but dont seem to have the rc_switch library installed and have no idea how to get it installed.
