In some 3rd-party applications the terms "PNP" / "NPN" are used to describe the polarity of the control signal (whether positive +12V or ground 0V voltage is used as the control signal). The KC868-H32BS outputs +12V (or +24V) per each output channel to control the relay. If a relay module is used, it gets a 0V as a common control line and +12V signal per each channel. Is this configuration considered as "PNP" or "NPN" connection from the point of view of the relay module?

improvement:

1. add MQTT topic include "post password" function. Improved security for controller

   

2. add 8 channel sensor input ports for effective pulse width options. Such as a sensor trigger signal time, from 10ms ---1 second.

Hello! 

I installed KC868-H32B with our mqtt server.

Sometimes TCP Client Led(white color) is blinking. what is that mean? 

thank you!

improvement:

support send MQTT command control multi output by one command:
such as if you want to let KC868-D8 dimmer output1:50% output2:60% output3:70% you can send:
{"dimmer1":{"value":50},"dimmer2":{"value":60},"dimmer3":{"value":70}}
   

update BIN file firmware by "KC868 Controller Network Bootloader" tool.

I need help with some basic IFTTT commands, for example, if I have an alarm condition I want to turn on lights at night, but not during the day:
DI #1 = IR beam perimeter sensor
AI #1= Light meter (<1.0V = night time, >= 1.0V = daytime)
 
IFTTT:
Number 1:  If DI #1 EdgeP,
Then:       Relay #1 OPEN (turn on alarm light)
                Relay #2 OPEN (send notification)
Number 2:  IF DI #1 Edge P and AI #1 < 1.0
Then:    Relay #3 OPEN (turn on outdoor lights)
===== This does not work, only  Number 1 is executed.  If I trigger the IR beam again then Number 2 is executed.  But that is not real life (I can’t ask intruder to break beam again !!).
(I also tried putting the Relay #3 OPEN command in Number 1 and set up a new Number 2 command to CLOSE Relay #3 if daytime, but that doesn’t work either.
Any suggestions?
Can you share any detailed IFTTT examples?

1- How can the products of other companies such as sonoff or tuya or other company  be used with kincony products, especially sensors?

2- How to know the specifications of the sensors that are compatible with kincony devices?

update your KC868-H32BS firmware >=1.43 version. Here is Node-Red flow download:
   

example:
1-click: relay1 toggle
2-click: relay1 ON, relay2 ON
hold-on: relay1 OFF, relay2 OFF

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
