KC868-H32B Pro

[cezary16111]

I have a problem. I have KC868-H32B Pro, KC868-AK ESP32 Programmable Keyboard, KC868-HA V2. How to connect them together? In Home Assistant, KC868-H32B Pro works with MQTT normally, but I can't connect KC868-HA V2 additionally.

KC868-AK connect to H32B Pro by RS232 cable directly, KC868-AK not need to use home assistant.
HAv2 can connect to your H32B Pro by RS485 cable directly, HAv2 not need to use home assistant.

"Now I have a problem with the KC868-AK ESP32 Programmable Keyboard. When I press the button, it works like a momentary button (the relay turns on for a moment). Can you check the video?
When the Wifi Setting mode is enabled, there is such behavior in ESP32 development mode. When I turn it off, it works normally.

if you are using original firmware, you need to config it before use, here is online guide: https://www.kincony.com/how-to-use-kc868...board.html

I have one more question.

in H32B Pro ethernet config webpage, there is an option for RS485 type, just chose "special" . NOT chose "RTU".
