KC868-H32B Pro with Home Assistant
#1
Hi,

I would like to integrate devices connected to my KC868 H32B Pro with Home Assistant, which is installed on a separate x86 server configured to support automations across many Zigbee (via ZHA) and WiFi devices. However I'm at a loss for the best way to integrate the KC868 H32B Pro with this HA instance. There seems to be a few options that are discussed in other threads:

1. Install Home Assistant on a Kincony Raspberry Pi server, which mine is not
2. Use Tuya - I'm reluctant to do because I want to do everything via LAN only
3. ESPHome - instructions I've found seem to indicate that I need to first physically connect the KC868 H32B Pro to the HA instance via USB. As they are physically far apart, I was hoping to avoid this.

4. Use MQTT - I have not installed MQTT hoping to be able to use ESPHome wirelessly

Any suggestions on how I should do this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks so much in advance.

KC868-H32B Pro integrate to home assistant by MQTT is best.
here is config yaml demo: https://www.kincony.com/kc868-h32b-integ...-mqtt.html

Thank you very much for the response. 
Would it be possible to connect H32B Pro via ESPHome instead? If so, how could I do this?

Thank you again.

no, KC868-H32B Pro not support ESPHome, if you want use ESPHome, you can chose KinCony A32 Pro controller, that made by ESP32-S3 chip, so that can use ESPHome.
