Hello the value sent via mqtt in home assistant does not change according to the template

you can read analog input value from GPIO directly, not need use MQTT. just config yaml file for analog input.
here is video tour about how to read analog port via ESPHome: https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=3499

I'm using kcs firmware. With esp home the controller freezes from time to time. Can you tell which kcs tamplate the analog sensor uses? I wanted to use this template in home assistant.

post your config yaml file at here.

I use this code when I use esphome but the relay module freezes periodically every other day, at this time I turn off the power and turn it on and then it continues to work and after another day it freezes And I have to turn off the power again and that’s why I wanted to move to the kcs firmware. but with the kcs firmware it also froze yesterday, did not respond to the ip address, I rebooted the relay module

which board model you are using?
what power supply you are using?

KC868-A16S
Mean well hdr-60 12v

there is this error in the logs

i suggest you download KCS firmware for a testing whether work well.
