my means: KC868-A32 need buy tuya license, 5usd/pc, how to buy see here: https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2544
Ok I may be confused a little bit now.
1. KC868-AG pro has every thing it need to run both tuya, and home assitent and RF and IR at the same time , corect ?
2. The KC868-A32 on its own, needs a tuya license since it is just one esp32 on the board, but then the stand alone board ( KC868-A32 ) will have just tuya app connectivity and not also the home asistent, corect ?
3. if I have both devices, what software/ code/ program needs to be on the KC868-A32 ESP32, so that I can give commands to the relays/ see digital inputs via the KC868-AG pro (that has both home assistent and tuya at the same time from what I understand) ?
4. regarding question 3, is it enouhg via the KCS firmware to upload on the KC868-A32 a .bin file (don't know what exact file) and then just connect both KC868-A32 and KC868-AG pro to the local network and just make the rest of the config from the KC868-AG pro browser interface ?
Sorry for the many questions, but I want to make sure I understand what I have to do to make it work before I buy the product/products.

1. Yes
2. KC868-A32 download KCS firmware, if enable Tuya license, so that can use tuya app, also if you enable MQTT protocol, it can integrate KC868-A32 to home assistasnt. So after you buy tuya license, KC868-A32 support use Tuya app and home assistant at the same time, because KCS firmware support one board running multi protocol work at the same time. Note: this way work by tuya license, A32 can work with Ethernet or Wifi (NOT only by WIFI).
3. just download KCS firmware and enable "TCP Server string" protocol so that can use KC868-AG Pro send customsize command to KC868-A32 via RF remote.
4. Yes, just download KCS firmware, config by KCS webpage is enough.
