Scene controller switch
#1
Question 
Hi there. I'm really liking your products and i will be starting a large DIY project sometime in the future so i'm creating a list of products to use. One thing i can't find are wall scene switches that would work by connecting them to digital inputs using RJ45 cable. I know you offer some but i'm aiming at something more customizable like: https://buyriteelectric.com/cdn/shop/fil...1705342406
So multiple push buttons (no touch) that could send a signal to digital inputs.
I'm from EU so i feel like my options are limited. I'm also open to suggestions if you know of another way to achieve this.

Thank you!

you can use our HAv2 RS485 adapter board, so that you can use any push button panel, work with KinCony's controller. here is video tour: https://youtu.be/s5Htc43HqAc

I see, and if i wanted to connect multiple RS485 light/scene switches and/or motors which product could i use?
For example if i were to buy and install (10+) of these switches which are using RS485: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/M...14145.html
Which product can i use to read keypresses in home assistant and use that to control relays of H8B board for example?

if you know the rs485 device protocol, usually use by modbus protocol, so you can use "modbus controller" in esphome to read it.

But where would these switches connect to? Is there a Kincony board that has mutliple RS485 inputs? Or can i just connect to dry contact digital input ports?

if you are using multi RS485 switch panel, you can parallel all RS485 cable with one bus. KinCony board's digital input ports support dry contactor devices.
