Multiple KC868-HxB actuators in one scene - eladn - 10-09-2021
Is it possible to connect multiple KC868-HxB actuators in serial communication with a KC868-COLB unit? Let's say I want to formulate a logic rule that changes the state of relays from multiple actuator units - is it possible?
Thanks.

if use HxB, only one COLB automatic control by one HxB. because it's connect by RS232 port directly.
if use KC868-H32BS, you can use one COLB automatic control multi H32BS, because it support connect all H32BS and COLB by RS485 bus.

Thanks for the quick reply. Do one of your tutorials / videos explain how to control channels of the KC868-H32BS via RS485 from a rule in the COLB logical unit? I guess I should somehow specify the RS485's address of the target device in order to distinguish between devices.

yes, every H32BS can set a RS485 address in config webpage.
here is a video tour (COL automatic control dimmer by customsize RS485 command, you just change the command for H32BS' relay output command is ok):
