I have a KC868-6 V1.3 board. I live in New Zealand where AS923 requires 915Mhz frequency. Can the SX1262 board be used in place of the SX1278 module? Pinouts may be different firmware might need modification?

  Relay state after power restore?
Posted by: LoganParker - 07-22-2026, 07:57 AM - Forum: "KCS" v2 firmware system - Replies (1)

Hi everyone,
I'm using the KCS v2 firmware and would like each relay to restore its last state automatically after a power outage. Right now, all relays switch to OFF every time the controller reboots.
Is there a built-in setting in KCS v2 to save the relay state in flash memory and restore it after startup, or does this need to be handled through MQTT or Home Assistant? If anyone has configured this successfully, could you share the required settings or steps?
Thanks!

  IFFT Settings Do Not Save After Reset
Posted by: Guero - 07-21-2026, 03:55 AM - Forum: KC868-AG / AG Pro / AG8 / Z1 - Replies (1)

Hey KinCony, 

Having issues whenever the controller restarts or looses power for a minute the IFTTT Settings do not save. I do not see any options that would fix this. Any help is appreciated! 

I'm currently on firmware version 3.25.4
