KC868-HA RS485 INPUT & OUTPUT plugin for ESPHome

Dear friend,
At this moment i am using kc868-E16S with
- ESPHome
- kc868_ha
and kc868-HA with
- HA485 Assistant V1.0.5.1011
- HA485_KU_V108_SP231025.bin (with controller bootloader)

Things start working.
Following not;
- Simulation-Control Switches in 'HA485 Assistant' don't work with kc868_ha (they do well with kc868_component)
- Inputs only work in 'EdgeEvent' mode (in kc868_component only Momentary and Latch)
- HomeAssistant recognises inputs from kc868_ha if they are in 'EdgeEvent' mode, not in Momentary or Latch.
- response with kc868_component was good, with kc868_ha there is too much traffic on the line, respons is bad. We need to add delays in the commands.

Since I work mainly with ESPHome,
It would be much easier for me to have an firmware for the kc868-HA board that is comliant with the native 'modbus_component' of ESPHome.
It don't needs the BindOutput and Target Relay Controller Address stuff.
Just to load Modbus address. If switch is on, send 'switch is on' :-)

Thank you foor the good work, still love it.
Nic
