Hello!
Could you please share an example ESPHome config for using RS485 with Kincony E16S?
I have KC868-HAv2 RS485 IO Module, and want to use it to connect to the switches in the house.
I plan to connect this way:
SWITCH -> HAv2 -> RS485 -> E16S -> RELAY -> BULB
I want the switch to register in ESPHome using RS485, and also trigger the relay.
Also, I'll need multiple HAv2 boards. Can I use more than 1 per E16S board?

not need use by ESPHome, just download KCS v2 firmware, config RS485 by "HAv2" in protocol webpage.

Hello. I'm using ESPHome to integrate with Home Assistant. Is there a way to configure RS485 in ESPHome?
I want to use multiple HAv2 in the same E16S board flashed with ESPHome.
