Thank you verry much.
PS; I don't use home assistant for this project. Everything is configured in ESPHome and runs on your controllerboards only. Runs very stable. Hereby I use the components 'cover', 'monochromatic' and 'kc868_component'.
Everything is connected with the RS485-bus (modbus) and located on different locations. kc868-E16S and A16 are downstairs, A4S with 2DO (6 relays total and 6 x 0-10V dimmers connected) on first floor and 2 x kc868-HA in the building. In test-mounting I can push a kc868-HA button downstairs and activate a relay powered by a kc868-HA board in the bacement (low signal active).
For the moment the boards don't work together on the RS485-bus due to CRC-check problems when you send a command to an kc868-HA board (switch). Connected one at a time it runs smoothly.
I had to remove all modbus expansion boards (located in bacement and garage to open gate etc) because 'modbus_controller' don't work side-by-side with 'kc868_component'.
Homeassistant will be used for video-control and non crucial automations and integrations.
