2．KC868-Server digital output , digital input , analog input config sample code in configuration.yaml

# Example configuration.yaml entry
switch:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: 'output-1'
    unique_id: output-1
    state_topic: 'server/ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /state'
    command_topic: 'server/ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /set'
    payload_on:  '{"relay1":{"on":1}}'
    payload_off:  '{"relay1":{"on":0}}'
    value_template: '{{ value_json.relay1.on }}'
    state_on: 1
state_off: 0


binary_sensor:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: 'input-1'
    unique_id: input-1
    state_topic: 'server/ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /state'
    value_template: '{{ value_json.input1.on }}'
    payload_on: 1
    payload_off: 0


sensor:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: 'analog-1'
    unique_id: analog-1
    state_topic: 'server/ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /state'
    unit_of_measurement: 'v'
    value_template: '{{ value_json.analog1.value }} ' 

Note: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is UID of controller, just replace with your device UID. You can find the UID in ethernet setting.

I try to integrate KC868-Server to the home assistant by MQTT
but I can't find the IP for the server 

the IP for  the home assistant is http://192.168.100.172:8123/

see the photo

can you help me find the IP

[admin]

because your KC868-Server ip is 192.168.1.200
your network is 192.168.100.x

you should set KC868-Server ethernet for "DHCP" mode. let it's ip became 192.168.100.x so that you can find it.
how to set :
d.) Hold on Ethernet mode button, when the [yellow and white LED] all is ON, release it, then work mode in “UDP” and IP by DHCP mode;
here is online guide details: https://www.kincony.com/how-to-use-kc868-server.html
