Hi,
I have successfully set up the Kyncony KC-868 A4, and using Node-RED with HTTP requests I can now switch the relay. From here, it’s only a matter of programming the desired algorithm.
But since the A4 has a limited number of analog inputs, we also got the KC-868 COLB.
I have successfully upgraded the firmware of the COLB to the latest version using the guides from the forum.
When I use VirCom or IP Scanner software to search for the COLB device in the network, it doesn’t find any COLB. That’s why the SCB software doesn’t work either.
I connected the COLB via Ethernet cable to a switch that assigns IP addresses through DHCP. The laptop I am using is also connected to the same network.
Could you please tell me where I am making a mistake? Do you have a precise guide or step-by-step instructions on how to connect the COLB?
Additional questions:
– Is it possible to connect the COLB via WiFi as well? I am confused by your guides, it’s not clear to me. If yes please send me some guide how.
– How many DS18B20 digital sensors can be connected to a single channel? Only one?
Thank you very much for your assistence,
ALois
