Kc868 a8 in workshop
#1
I have recived my kc868-a8 board and a 6 gang switch.

 This one
https://www.kincony.com/metal-frame-mome...panel.html

I have installed a firmware and installed the kbox smart app .

I could trigger the relay from the ip ( 192.168.4.1 ) and from smartphone using the app .

I wanted to at the 6 gangs switch,  but i read somewhere that i need ifttt so did an update on firmware ( v2.2.8 )

But i could not make a connection any more with ip adres.
Try the first firmware agian , and still no Luck with the ip.

Now i have v2.2.4 , but still no connection to ip.

The plan was to control lights in my workshop .
This with the 6 gangs switch and local . ( for the moment i dont have ethernet or internet or wifi in my workshop ).

In the future there will be an utp cable from my house to the workshop for further integration. 

Hope this make sense .

1. download KCS firmware v2 to KC868-A8
2. if you ethernet , just connect CAT5 network cable to your router directly, default using DHCP. if use wifi, go to network webpage, set wifi mode=STA, input your router's SSID and PASSWORD. Then KC868-A8 will connect to your router, you can use kincony scan device tool to find our your board IP address. just make sure your mobile phone also connect same wifi router. So that can use KBOX mobile phone app using in local network.
3. config your wall switch with digital input ports. set IF DIx= "Raise Edge" THEN toggle DOx
here is KCS v2 firmware online guide, you can check this firstly: https://www.kincony.com/esp32-kcsv2-firmware.html

not need to use D1,D2,D3.... it's 12v led use for relay state feedback, that need connect with dc12v, so that LED light will on.

1. connect with DHT22 sensor, but DHT22 need useby 5v VCC, not 3.3v. you can connect to RF receiver or RF sender module's socket pin, there is 5V pin.
2. config sensor in KCS webpage, then will be work well.
