We improved ethernet relay module — KC868-H8B for smart home automation DIY.
1: Both have ethernet port and WiFi port.
2: Ethernet and WiFi work at the same time,you can use LAN application and WAN app at the same time, if internet broken , you can also use LAN application to control relay.
3:Ethernet and WiFi module wokr mode control by setting buttons and have LEDs for show work status.
4: Add “COM”, “NO”, “NC” 3 ports for every relay output.
FAQ about KC868-H8B Smart Controller:

Support light, curtain, blind any any switch control mode of electrical equipment.
2. How many output channel for KC868-H8B?
It supports 8 channel output. If need more output channel ,just add KC868-H8B controller.
3. How many input channel for KC868-H8B?
It supports 8 channel input. If need more input channel ,just add controller or add KC868-COL input module for 37 channel analog & digital input ports.
4. What kind of relay is used in KC868-H8B?
277VAC/10A relay.
5. Which control ways does KC868-H8B 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-H8B?
It supports Ethernet and WiFi wireless network access.
7. If there is no Internet, can we use KC868-H8B?
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-H8B be used in both local LAN and Internet WAN?
KC868-H8B 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-H8B 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-H8B 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-H8B be automatically restored?
KC868-H8B 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-H8B?
Without restart, KC868-H8B will automatically work without manually reboot.
12. How to use multiple KC868-H8B?
Multiple KC868-H8B only need to be connected to the router for network. Multiple KC868-H8B can be added to one mobile app account.
13. Can multiple people use KC868-H8B at the same time?
The administrator can authorize multiple people to use one or more KC868-H8B.
14. Does KC868-H8B support developers in software for development?
KC868-H8B open protocol, support use your own software to control relay and read state and provide demo source code.
15. Does KC868-H8B support Raspberry Pi and Ardiuno?
