RE: KC868-AI ESPHome demo config for home assistant - pietervanstee - 06-09-2023
Hi,
I just received a number of boards among which are the AI/H32B/H16B/COLB/...
As I'm interested to integrate these into home assistant using esphome (over ethernet cable), I installed esphome with your modified config to the AI board.
This is the config I've used:

[W][ethernet:130]: Connecting via ethernet failed! Re-connecting...Seems there is something with the ethernet connection.
I'm sure the ethernet cable is working properly as I've connected earlier to my other boards and was able to access their html ui management portals.
Furthermore, the ethernet port on the AI is blinking on/off repeatedly, so not blinking (indicating that data is being sent) just 1sec on 1sec off...
How to update/adjust to properly install this board.
Thank you
Pieter
Additionally, I just tried to replace the ethernet connection setup, with my default wifi config.
This works and in that way I'm able to add my AI board via esphome to home assistant (see attachment).
So this would mean there is something wrong with the ethernet config?
Please assist me in resolving this issue.
Thanks
Pieter
RE: KC868-AI ESPHome demo config for home assistant - admin - 06-09-2023
after you download your firmware, just re power on of your board.
