2: WiFi work mode = "TCP Server"

controller is a "server", your software is "client".

3: Ethernet work mode = "TCP Client"

your software is a "server", controller is "client". when power on, controller will auto connect to your software by ethernet. just "client" will auto connect to "server".

4: WiFi work mode = "TCP Client" instead by MQTT in new firmware

your software is a "server", controller is "client". when power on, controller will auto connect to your software by wifi. just "client" will auto connect to "server".

5: Ethernet work mode = "TCP Client"; WiFi work mode = "TCP Server"

A. your software is a "server", controller is "client". when power on, controller will auto connect to your software by ethernet.

B. controller is a "server", you software is "client".

use one KC868-COL/COLB/COLBS send command to KC868-H32BS, KC868-D8 dimmer controller by RS485 modbus. MAX support 254 devices.

   

Hi,
I just opened and connected by COLB. I am able to visualize the change of status of the DI input ports from the smart board controller app.
I would like to know
1. what is the procedure to update the firmware step by step - I could not find the right thread in the forum, sorry if I missed something
2. I cannot connect to the web interface where to configure the MQTT server - I can only see the interface as attached to this message.

Any help is welcome!

Thanks
Lee

improvement:

support set domain for your own server. old version only set server IP address by number. This verison can set by a server domain name for TCP and MQTT server, added DNS function.

download the ZIP file , unzip update the bin file for KC868-H32BS relay controller by USB-RS232 cable.

Hi
I have H32L I connect it to home assistant : https://www.kincony.com/how-to-create-sw...stant.html
When I power on or off channel from switch terminal board  or wall push bottom it power on but the real status not update on home assistant  app is not changing the status in home assistant to on or off
i work whit node-red ,          , need help whit this

ESPHome configure for KC868-A8:

function list:
1. 8 relay output
2. 8 switch input trigger relay output by on_press action
3. monitor 2 channel analog input for DC
4. TEMP-1 port: 2 channel DS18B20 temperature sensor use by 1 ports, actually, you can connect multi DS18B20 by one wire.
5. TEMP-4 port: WS2812B LED strip for 1 meter (30 LEDs)
6. network by Ethernet cable
