improvement:

add mqtt "TOGGLE" command.
for example:
Payload={"relay1":{"on":1}}    relay1:ON
Payload={"relay1":{"on":0}}    relay1:OFF
Payload={"relay1":{"on":2}}    relay1: toggle (ON->OFF or OFF->ON) new firmware add this command

Hi,
actually it seems that the COLBS relays output could not be controlled via MQTT.
According with the feature 12 of your website it was supposed, in my opinion, this feature is available.

Is it possible for you to include this feature in the next firmare release?
Many thanks for your help.
McG.

here is a http url command integrate with home assistant config demo sample for button5 (thanks for our customer supplied the config code)

- platform: command_line
  switches:
    poolbtn5:
        command_on: "curl -k --silent 'http://192.168.1.136/sw_ctl.cgi?Relay05=ON&postpwd=12345'"
        command_off: "curl -k --silent 'http://192.168.1.136/sw_ctl.cgi?Relay05=OFF&postpwd=12345'"
        command_state: curl -k --silent 'http://192.168.1.136/sw_ctl.cgi?RelayFF=RD&postpwd=12345' | grep -oP "(?<=btn5)(.*)(?=btn6)"
        value_template: '{{"ON" in value}}'
        friendly_name: poolbtn5

improvement:

add "SW trigger output" option in config webpage.

   

"SW trigger output" Enable:

32 channel Switch button control 32 channel output.

a. such as key1 press 1 time will trigger output1. key2 press 1 time will trigger output2. key3 press 1 time will trigger output3. ....... until key32 press 1 time will trigger output32.
b. support "double click" define everyone of 32 key's function.
c. ALL ON button: turn ON all (32 channel) output
d. ALL OFF button: turn OFF all (32 channel) output

"SW trigger output" Disable:

a. switch button will not control output directly, but will feedback message by TCP string or by MQTT message.
b. if ethernet work mode = "TCP Server" or "TCP Client" will feedback:

RELAY-COM-255,x,y,OK

x is switch button number
y is channel x's output relay last state

for example:
RELAY-COM-255,2,1,OK  means: switch button2 have pressed, now the output2 is ON (because it is 1)
RELAY-COM-255,3,0,OK  means: switch button3 have pressed, now the output2 is OFF (because it is 0)

RELAY-COM-255,33,0,OK  means: switch button33 (ALL OFF) have pressed, now all output is ON
RELAY-COM-255,34,0,OK  means: switch button34 (ALL ON) have pressed, now all output is OFF

c. if ethernet work mode = "MQTT" will feedback:

{"SWx":{"on":y}}

x is switch button number (1-34)  33: "ALL OFF" button  34: "ALL ON" button
y is click times. number (1-6,99) 1: one click 2: double click 3: three times click 4: four times click 5: five times click 6: >=6 times click  if "hold on" button >3 seconds y=99 

for example:
{"SW10":{"on":1}}  means switch10 press 1 time
{"SW11":{"on":2}}  means switch11 press 2 time
{"SW12":{"on":3}}  means switch12 press 3 time
{"SW13":{"on":4}}  means switch13 press 4 time
{"SW14":{"on":5}}  means switch14 press 5 time
{"SW15":{"on":6}}  means switch15 press 6 time or maybe > 6 times
{"SW16":{"on":99}}  means switch16 is hold on (long time pressed > 3 seconds)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{"SW33":{"on":1}}  means "ALL OFF" button pressed
{"SW33":{"on":0}}  means "ALL OFF" button released

{"SW34":{"on":1}}  means "ALL ON" button pressed
{"SW34":{"on":0}}  means "ALL ON" button released

Is there any possibility of RS485 connection ?

Hello everyone!

I have same problem like this posting https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1178

Did you solve this problem?

Problems I am facing.

1. KC868-H32B is setup with magnetic contactor and RC snubber. but sometimes it goes down. MQTT No response.

2. When it was not working. The setup page like this.


subnet mask and gateway changed.
3. When connecting included WIFI antenna. KC868-H32b goes down.

I look forward to your feedback..
