I just installed the KCS V2 to my KC868-AIO.
It works great!
But how can I use 1 switch to turn on/off (single click) and hold to increase/decrease the analog output?

The only thing that happens is the AO gets set to the configured value.
I tried all the different trigger options.

you can create second IFTTT command for "HOLD ON". just create multi IFTTT command is ok.

RE: "KCS" v2.1.0 firmware BIN file download - mahafree - 08-16-2023

Ok, is this behavior possible with one switch?

The light is off

single click - the light turns on to the last brightness value
single click - the light turns off
hold - the light increases in brightness
hold again - the light decreases in brightness

RE: "KCS" v2.1.0 firmware BIN file download - admin - 08-16-2023

hold - the light increases in brightness
hold again - the light decreases in brightness

maybe you need multi times of "hold", you can test it.

Hi Admin

Is it possible to make more "HOLD ON-s" rows.  3....5 HOLD ON 

HOLD ON 1 
HOLD ON 2 
HOLD ON 3
........

At the settings menu can adjust the hold on time:

Example:

HOLD ON 1   500ms
HOLD ON 2   700ms
HOLD ON 3   900ms  

This is good for dimmer. 
Example:  500ms dimmer 20%, 700ms dimmer 40%; 900ms dimmer 70%

do you means, create some different HOLD ON trigger, send customsize protocol command to dimmer controller?
now "KCS" firmware not support this, but i will save your suggestion.

RE: "KCS" v2.1.0 firmware BIN file download - mahafree - 01-03-2024

I tried many different things...

Currently, it is not possible to get this behavior. Even creating multiple IFTTT commands.

single click - the light turns on to the last brightness value
single click - the light turns off
hold - the light increases in brightness
hold again - the light decreases in brightness

Will this be possible in the future?
Otherwise, the KCS system is not an option for me and I will need to use ESPHome and configure everything in home assistant.
I would prefer to use the KCS system because it works immediately after a power outage.

Thanks in advance!

your requirements suggest use ESPHome config in yaml. ESPHome also work locally.
