how to install KC868-AG without HA - ahiel - 01-26-2025
I've just got KC868-AG and want to install it to use it with MQTT (I'm using openhab).
how can I configure it?
just connected it to power (see green light). but can't see any new wifi network.
any manual?
thanks!

just download KCS v2 firmware, here is online guide: https://www.kincony.com/esp32-kcsv2-firmware.html

Thank you!
okay, I see that it is not like tasmota and not listening always to IR.
I saw I can use tasmota by installing (https://tasmota.github.io/install/) and choosing ESP32 and update the configuration (https://templates.blakadder.com/kincony_KC868-AG.html).
Is there a tasmota binary version that support RF for this device?

just download tasmota common firmware, define RF sender and RF receiver pin for ESP32.

Thank you for your reply.
Is the configuration template should be the same as the one in the IR?
I see a comment that "Support for RF requires a custom compiled binary."
I installed tasmota and now I don't see option of RFrecv or RFSend (or buzzer) in the GPIO.
how can I make it work?
do I need to change the template? or the one above is okay?
Thanks

When compiling your build add the following to user_config_override.h, here is details: https://tasmota.github.io/docs/RF-Protocol/
so need compile a new tasmota firmware.
