KC868-A32 configure for ESPhome

[tasman]

Thank you. That code is now invalid and will not install.

INFO ESPHome 2025.8.3
INFO Reading configuration /config/esphome/k868-a16.yaml...
Failed config

esphome: [source /config/esphome/k868-a16.yaml:2]
  name: a16
 
  Please remove the `platform` key from the [esphome] block and use the correct platform component. This style of configuration has now been removed.
  platform: ESP32
  board: esp32dev

The entry at the top needs to be:

esphome:

  name: a16

esp32:
  board: esp32dev

However, I still have these errors on install. It has something to do with xtensa-esp32-elf-g++

WARNING ? IMPORTANT: This device doesn't have a framework specified!

Currently, ESP32 defaults to the Arduino framework.
This will change to ESP-IDF in ESPHome 2026.1.0.

Note: Newer ESP32 variants (C6, H2, P4, etc.) already use ESP-IDF by default.

Why change? ESP-IDF offers:
  ✨ Up to 40% smaller binaries
  ? Better performance and optimization
  ? Custom-built firmware for your exact needs
  ? Active development and testing by ESPHome developers

Trade-offs:
  ⏱️  Compile times are ~25% longer
  ? Some components need migration

What should I do?
  Option 1: Migrate to ESP-IDF (recommended)
    Add this to your YAML under 'esp32:':
      framework:
        type: esp-idf

  Option 2: Keep using Arduino (still supported)
    Add this to your YAML under 'esp32:':
      framework:
        type: arduino

Need help? Check out the migration guide:

WARNING GPIO5 is a strapping PIN and should only be used for I/O with care.
Attaching external pullup/down resistors to strapping pins can cause unexpected failures.
