ESPhome homeassistant

[czw00]

Right, I am going in circles here with the same thing—where does the yaml file actually live, on the A6 itself? 

Does it live in the main /homeassistant/configuration.yaml because that does not seem to work,

[admin]

install esphome on home assistant. then create A6 device, paste our KC868-A6 yaml file.

Right - for all those people that are a bit slow like me there are a couple of additional steps here

1. Unpackage the board
2. Flash the Firmware to the board from this site
3. Install ESPHome Builder in HA, use the ESP Home Builder to generate the first part of the YAML file
4. You then have to download this to the A6, I had to use USB for the first time, then wireless worked after that. One you do this you lose access to the original config webpage and it's all through esphome from then on
5. The yaml files here need to be pasted in - not the whole thing, but at least from # Example configuration entry for ESP32 onwards, that will get you at least the 6 outputs and 6 inputs. Ill have to keep searching for the DA1, DA2 IO1, IO2 + A1,A2,A3,A4 config because they are not in the YAML file.

i think you can see these guide firstly if you are esphome beginner: https://www.kincony.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=54

[Telefonista]

is there anything i have to change in the yaml file?

---

i got it works thanks so much

HI

when I uploaded my yaml, KC868A16 is visible in HA but it does not respond to state changes when I control it from home assistant.

have you worked config ?

take a photo, how you wire cable. maybe you have not connect with Vin terminal with dc12v. see the photo RED cable.
