MQTT Digital Ports
#1
Good afternoom

I am using a KinCony Server16 Raspberry Pi IoT gateway with a Raspberry Pi CM4 EMMC, and I run Home Assistant in a container with Docker. Unfortunately, I was unable to enable I2C as indicated in the documentation, and even USB ports are not accessible in this setup. This containerized Home Assistant is the only alternative I could use.
I would like to know if it is possible to use the digital input ports of the KinCony device for sensors. If yes, how should these digital ports be configured to work properly with MQTT?
If it is not possible to activate sensors via MQTT through the digital input ports, what would be the recommended solution for integrating such sensors into Home Assistant in my setup?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Rui

Good afternoon, thank you for the feedback. I tried to activate it again and now it’s working. However, I have some doubts about how I can add an SHT31 sensor via the I2C port. Is it possible? Which port should I connect it to? This is what appears in the terminal: /dev/i2c-0 /dev/i2c-1 /dev/i2c-10 /dev/i2c-22. I would really appreciate your help!
Also, I need to install a motion sensor and a magnetic contact for a home alarm automation. Could you clarify where I should connect them so that I can get an output on the relays when they are triggered? Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Best regards, Rui

which i2c port you want to use , according to your software. you can try to search home assistant add-on whether have SHT31 sensor, it should be set the i2c number.
your motion sensor or any dry contact sensor you can connect with any digital input ports. Then create AUTOMATION in home assistant, let digital input trigger relay output.
