I also need more info, i.e. on the step " 2.Configure KC868-A6 to connect to home Wi-Fi using a web interface or app. "
I just received my KC868-A16 and can't get started with it. After powering up for the first time, I can't see the WiFi network, nor it doesn't connect automatically to my LAN. How to connect to it to start configuring the device?
if you want use A16 with home assistant, just use our ESPHome yaml file.
if you want directly to use A16 board, you can download KCS firmware.
note: when you download firmware, remove the RF 433M receiver module from PCB.

Can you please clarify, if I want to use A16 with Home Assistant and ESPHome, is this the yaml file to use?

1) The file is badly formatted. Is it available for download with proper formatting?
2) Can you explain where/how to add the file to home assistant installation?
3) Please clarify on the firmware: If I use this one:

Is this the valid firmware to have the A16 work with ESPHome in Home Assistant?
When I go to ESPHome in Home assistant and click add device, it asks for IP and Port of the device. Should this work with A16?
