Hello,
This is the first time I am playing with the ESP32 and Kincony. I just bought the KC868-A4 to understand it and experiment a bit before doing something more serious.
My KC868-A4 arrived some time ago, and now that I have some time, I am trying to understand where to start. Frankly speaking, I have no clue.
The projects described on your pages are nice, but they assume some starting point which is completely unknown for a newbie like me.
Is the KC868-A4 equipped with any firmware so it starts when powered on, or do I need to upload firmware? When powered on, I couldn't find any new Wi-Fi AP, so I guess even if something was loaded into my KC, it didn't work.
I simply want to run ESP32, connect it with Home Assistant, and play with relays and read/write to 433MHz devices. While searching the web, I found this: [Kincony Firmware ESP32 Board](https://www.kincony.com/kcs-firmware-esp32-board.html).
Not sure if I am correct, but I connected the KC via USB-C and USB and to my PC, powered KC on, and tried to flash it (I am not sure if it is needed).
So, my KC is being updated. The red LED is flashing, I hear a "beep" from time to time, and a relay is switching. It has now taken about 15 minutes and doesn't seem to be finished.
I am very confused.
