Dear Kincony,

I've recently received my KC868-A8S board from your store on Aliexpress.
However it seems like my new board is not functioning.

I've connected it to 12V power.
Then connected to USB-C cable from board to my laptop.
Nothing is showing up in new serial ports.
I've tested different cables, different usb ports and two different laptops.
My other esp32 board with ttl to serial converter ch340 work just fine.
Only my new kc868-a8s board does not want to work.

Kindly let me know what to do next.

Thank you.

If I create a switch, it works ok,
switch:
  - name: 'a16-kcs-output-1'
    unique_id: a16-kcs-output-1
    state_topic: 'KC868_A16/B0B21CCF0978/STATE'
    command_topic: 'KC868_A16/B0B21CCF0978/SET'
    payload_on:  '{"output1":{"value":true}}'
    payload_off:  '{"output1":{"value":false}}'
    value_template: '{{ value_json.output1.value }}'
    state_on: true
    state_off: false

But if I create a "light",
light:
  - name: 'my_led'
    unique_id: a16-kcs-output-led-wc-1
    state_topic: 'KC868_A16/B0B21CCF0978/STATE'
    command_topic: 'KC868_A16/B0B21CCF0978/SET'
    payload_on:  '{"output1":{"value":true}}'
    payload_off:  '{"output1":{"value":false}}'
    state_value_template: '{{ value_json.output1.value }}'

the UI in home assistant showed "Unknown" status.     
Please help!

I am developing my own smart home software. I am using KS868-HS and KS868-COLB devices and want to connect them via Ethernet using the MQTT protocol. I used the "SCAN DEVICE LIST" function to find them in my network. I was also able to retrieve data from KS868-COLB using KINCONY SMART BOARD CONTROLLER. However, when I try to retrieve data using MQTTBox, I don't get a response. In the future, I plan to retrieve data through my own script and a local broker. But for now, I would like to simply read them in MQTTBox. Here are some screenshots.[/font]

I have plugged ds18b20 temperature sensors to A16 running KCS v2. How can I expose the temperature to MQTT and used it in home assistant?
Thanks.

Hello, how are you? I have a KC868-A8 device with firmware version kcsV2.1.2, and I'm experiencing issues with the automation not working properly. I have a water level sensor that is not responding to the automation commands, although it is able to read the water level accurately.
