Hello to All,
I found kincony project very promising for my place so I wish to ask you about some support with choosing components.
At the moment I have all cables collected in one big box - cat 5e from all monostable wall switches (light and roller shutters). I have also standalone server with HA and panel/tablet for it.
I have 110 inputs to connect (from switches) and around 80 outputs(lights, roller shutters etc). Also I wish to use google voice control, have some zigbee/z-wave devices, control irrigation sprinkler systems and maybe some other home things like alarm (get info from its sensors), air condition, heating, recuperation etc.
I thought home assistant will give me possibility to tie together and control everything together with help of some kincony components and esphome:
-multiple KC868-A32 or KC868-A8
or
-multiple mosfet KC868-A16 (or KC868-A64) connected with KC868-E16V2 (preferred because relays like to be broken)
of course also zigbee gateway.
Would it work? or I need to get also some controller like KC868-H32B, KC868-H32B Pro or KC868-H32BS? if yes than could you shortly tell me why? or if it is optional in my case than would I have any benefits of getting it and could you please advice me optimal architecture for my needs?
thank you in advance for your help and suggestions!
