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.
