Dear Sir.

I need some help. 

The videos shown on all the YouTube are connected directly to either Relay Board Controller Hx or Directly to The KC868 CON.
I have connected the H32 Relay Controller via a RS232 to the KC868 CON. When I use your Application as per below screenshot and click the Relay it works well as it turns on the relay at the Relay Board H32.

   


But when I use NodeRed and connect it and follow your video on how to control a switch to switch on a light or off it does not work. I have set the NodeRed based on the YouTube video. When I press the button on the iPhone I can see that on the debug message shows  payload "On" or "Of" are sent and I have placed the debug after the "Function" node to see if the payloads get to the TCP OUT node. 
Based on the Debug after the "Function" node, there are payloads coming but it does not turn the Relay "On" or "Off" via the KC868 CON to the 32 Relay Controller Board via RS232.

The difference is I have a KC868 Controller connected to the 32 relay board via a RS232 cable compared to your video where you only have the RedNode connected to the 32 Relay Controller Board.


           


Please advise why I cannot connect to the 32 Relay Controller via the KC868 CON controlling from RedNode?

Subas

Dear All.

If i wanted to create a Node based on IOS I need to load "node-red contrib-homekit" and this is meant for IOS devices. 
What do I need to load if I want to use Android phone to control a switch or read a sensor using NodeRed?

Thank You

if you are a engineer or want to developing to control our controller hardware by your software, we open protocol and have demo source code:

Here is the Smart Home Tech Tour for 32 Channel Distribution Board DIY used by KC868-H32B Smart Controller.
   

1. What types of device control by KC868-H32B?
Support light, curtain, blind any any switch control mode of electrical equipment.

2. How many output channel for KC868-H32B?
It supports 32 channel output. If need more output channel ,just add KC868-H32B controller.

3. How many input channel for KC868-H32B?
It supports 6 channel input. If need more output channel ,just add KC868-H32B controller.

4. What kind of relay is used in KC868-H32B?
277VAC/10A relay.

5. Which control ways does KC868-H32B support?
iPhone, Android phone, PC, wireless remoter , wall switch, Google home / Amazon Alexa speaker for voice control.

6. What are the network access modes of KC868-H32B?
It supports Ethernet and WiFi wireless network access.

7. If there is no Internet, can we use KC868-H32B?
Provide LAN version of mobile app and PC software, can be used in the environment without Internet, work in local network.

8. How can KC868-H32B be used in both local LAN and Internet WAN?
KC868-H32B adopts dual core network communication module. Ethernet and WiFi can be configured to work in different network environment modes at the same time.One is work in local network , another is work for remote connect with cloud server.

9. How to ensure the reliability of KC868-H32B network?
For example, both Ethernet and WiFi are set to Internet UDP mode to connect to the cloud server. When the cable network is disconnected or WiFi is disconnected, KC868-H32B will automatically switch the Ethernet / WiFi line to keep the communication with the cloud server smooth.

10. If house power failure, will relay output state of KC868-H32B be automatically restored?
KC868-H32B will automatically restore the relay state before power failure. For example: before the power failure, 1-3 lights are ON; when power on again, the 1-3 lights will be turned ON automatically.

11. If there is power failure at home and power supply is restored, do you need to restart KC868-H32B?
Without restart, KC868-H32B will automatically work without manually reboot.

12. How to use multiple KC868-H32B?
Multiple KC868-H32B only need to be connected to the router for network. Multiple KC868-H32B can be added to one mobile app account.

13. Can multiple people use KC868-H32B at the same time?
The administrator can authorize multiple people to use one or more KC868-H32B.

14. Does KC868-H32B support developers in software for development?
KC868-H32B open protocol, support use your own software to control relay and read state and provide demo source code.

15. Does KC868-H32B support Raspberry Pi and Ardiuno?
Support, see details on our YouTube video tutorial.

16. Does KC868-H32B support third-party open source smart home platforms such as Node-Red and Home Assistant?
Support, see details on our YouTube video tutorial.

we have make the Node-Red nodes and flows with home assistant, now all input sensor can be used in home assistant.
