KC868-A8 Help

[Vaughan2024]

I recently brought a new board in order to connect to my home assistant via esphome. 
I have been following the training from lesson 21 in order to experiment with writing the code unfortunately I am getting errors and cannot upload to the device.
I was wanting to just set up a basic example like lesson 21 with 8 inputs 8 outputs and a temperature sensor and get them to show up in home assistant when I copy the code from lesson 21 and modify to suit my network specification I cannot upload.
any help would be appreciated.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong?

This is the code I have ready to go

Then this is what happens when I press Install

I have been able to get Tasmota on the KC868-A8 following https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1128
but inputs not working, only the Relays. So I need to working that aswell, But I wanted to understand why ESPHome wont compile? Any Ideas.

delete your install files on ESPHome, try to download firmware again.

delete your install files on ESPHome, try to download firmware again.

I think I found the problem, My virtual machine that runs HA did not have a memory.
Now when I increased the memory ESPHome will compile.

Thanks for your help.

ok, good.
