KC868-H4 will support RELAY-KEY ? - phil - 12-09-2020
Hello,
has the KC868-H4 Rev. 1.1 FW-Version 1.598,
in this Version support only the signal change
Input 1 - ON
"RELAY-ALARM-1,OKRELAY-ALARM-1,OK"
"RELAY-GET_INPUT-255,254,OK
Input 1 - OFF
"RELAY-ALARM-1,OKRELAY-ALARM-1,OK"
"RELAY-GET_INPUT-255,255,OK"
the processing of the signals in Home Assistant is therefore more complex,
I have seen that the RELAY-KEY function is supported by a new firmware
RELAY-KEY-255,1,0,OK
RELAY-KEY-255,1,1,OK
Will this firmware also be available for the KC868-H4 and H8

I think you not need to use send query command to read relay state. Because every time if controlled by wall switch panel or wireless remoter will auto feedback command "Feedback:RELAY-KEY-255,x,1,OK （x is the channel of Relay）"
another relay feedback commands are :
RELAY-SET-255,x,1,OK (Turn ON Relay x successed) this is turn on/off one relay's feedback
RELAY-SET_ALL-255,D3,D2,D1,D0,OK this is turn on/off all relays' feedback.
You just have to analyze these commands for relay state update.
relay controller's input port is for alarm sensor use, not for manual control.

Hello,
have switched an input and want to use this as a switch only via Home Assistant
After switch "ON" input, get 4 x time the signal "RELAY-ALARM-1,OKRELAY-ALARM-1,OK"
if the switch stays "ON" I still get no more signal.
Then I have to ask every time the status, "RELAY-GET_INPUT-255,254"
thought can use the flacks, like RELAY-KEY...
Do you have an example for Node-Red how I can build it to control the input status ON and OFF, in the video what only ON but not the LOOP with status check.

input port is for sensor use, not for switch use. if you want to use switch, you need add "switch terminal board", it will work perfectly.
here is link: https://www.kincony.com/button-switch-module-for-kc868-hx-relay-controller.html
RELAY-KEY.... command is feedback, when use switch terminal board for manual control. if add the switch terminal board, will support use by wireless remoter.
