KC868-A2 configure yaml for ESPhome

[andyp]

Yes - please do ask ESPHome to support SIM7600! Your videos show SIM7600 being plugged in, and you talk about ESPHome - but this combination cannot be used.

Many countries are closing down 2g network. More will follow..... so SIM7600 support for the KC868-A2 is very important. 

I think the commands are very similar - so probably only very small changes required to the ESPHome SIM800 code? Maybe someone at your company has the skills to suggest the required changes and make a pull request? https://github.com/esphome/esphome/tree/...ts/sim800l
