Hi,
I have an older version of the Kincony KC868-A16 board (green). I install KCS version 2.2.17 or 2.2.18 on it. I can login in (www), and set my parameters. Then I add the prepared board to Home Assistant via ESP32. I add a new device, the ESP32, and a yaml file is generated. I copy its contents to Notepad. Then I clear the yaml file and paste the code from the ESP32 for HA website into the board. I replace the key entries with the one from Notepad. OTA, Wi-Fi. The code saves without any errors. I install it via USB. Reboot DC. Plugin ethernet cable. Everything is fine. Home Assistant sees the board and I can control relays, etc. And here's the problem description. But I can't access the board via a browser; it doesn't report its IP address. The board search tool doesn't see it either. But the I/O support in HA works. What am I doing wrong?
