Dear Support Team,
I recently purchased another KC868-A16 (Revision V1.6). After successfully flashing it with ESPHome, LAN communication is working correctly, and the first 8 inputs/outputs function as expected.
However, the second set of 8 inputs/outputs is not responding. The 12V power supply is connected to the second output slot, and the N line is connected to the second input slot, but the LEDs remain off even when toggled via the web interface.
Below is my PCF8574 configuration, which works properly with my previous A16 units:
Could this issue be related to the I²C address configuration, or is there a known difference in hardware between revision V1.6 and earlier versions?
Thank you for your assistance.
Best regards,
