Relay

[lori72]

Hi, I can't understand which doors are to be configured to command the relays from ESP32. 
can you help me. From the example file I can't understand, thanks

https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2618 here is yaml file for KC868-A4S. the following content is use for relay:

Thanks for the reply, I am trying to use this card with Arduino Cloud and invest the KC868-A4 model I managed to activate the releases as per the demo scheme: 
Const Int relay1 = 2;
Const int Relay2 = 15;
Const int Relay3 = 5;
Const int Relay4 = 4;
In the KC868-A4S card the scheme is different and I don't understand how to activate the releases. Thank you

A4S use PCF8574 IIC bus extend gpio chips. here is our arduino sample code how to use relay:

Hi, for Arduino Cloud which library I need to add for PCF8574 IIC? It gives me an error that does not find the PCF8574.h file. Thank you

[admin]

yes, need add PCF8574 arduino library.

yes, need add PCF8574 arduino library.

Thanks for the reply, with the additional library on Arduino ide it works. I'm supposed to use it on the Arduino Cloud and I can't get it to work. I attach the error

sorry, i have not used Arduino Cloud . maybe you need to chose another PCF8574 library for Arduino Cloud.
